Was your request for a WCA home-based assessment refused?

Despite sending a letter from my GP saying I can't travel and needed a home-based WCA (I'm already in the support group with disability income guarantee), my request was refused and I got sent a letter saying they will provide a taxi (the centre is over 90 mins journey), which in inadequate for me anyway as I can't travel that distance due to my medical issues.

I've read online it seems Maximus have been refusing valid requests for home-based WCAs - so I was wondering how many people here have had their requests refused and what you did about it (did you travel?).

Hi,

If you attend other appointments then they are likely to refuse a home assessment based on this. If they refuse a home assessment then they will sometimes offer a taxi, which they have done. The traveling distance is by public transport as advised on your other thread here. https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/61614/rules-about-wca-centre-being-over-90-mins-travel-distance#latest
