Home Assessment

Hi there everyone
I have a home assessment Friday for esa and I’m Absolutely poo in my pants I am already on work-related I have been for the last 3year but my conditions have got worse do you 12 DDDD generative disc’s in my back so I’m hoping to be in the support group is there any advice or tips to be given I would really appreciate it it’s my first time having a home assessment due to my mobility and pain
I was just wondering if the Home assessment is like the assessment it is in the centre and do they ask for medical notes And did I ask you to do a medical exam

And no they haven’t sent me anything out to fill in Last time I filled one in was about two years ago and was waiting for a home assessment I contacted them to ask about the form and they said you don’t need to send anything in anymore
They’re just making an appointment to do a home assessment on you witch I’m really confused about
I’m just really scared that the score me zero Points as I have been reading all the comments and have been refused To having a degenerated discs and problems with sciatica as it’s a common cause obviously the pain is got that bad sometimes I don’t even know of weed myself And my arm constantly being locked
where do I get the Evidence from the doctors ?? As I’m pending another MRI scan on my hip I’m been sent for a nerve test in my leg But I haven’t attended yet because I’m still waiting for the appointment ?? Dose that matter x
what did u send it for you Disability I would affect you
And fingers crossed thank you very much mate
So now I’ve just contacted the doctor asking for my medical records and a letter supporting me from My doctor she said it wouldn’t be done for Friday and I ask if the DWP have asked for any medical records and or a letter And she said no nothing is been requested
thats brilliant I’m sure my doctor will do This for me if I need anything hopefully they don’t asked me and get out me on the support group do you have the same problem as me with back problems and depression x
Hope all goes well for you.
I have nerve problems aswel Absolutely kills me Wished they’d chop my leg off and get me out of the pain
same I have depression and anxiety aswel but that’s due to the pain xx

put I’ve noticed everything down to my doctor about my nerve condition how bad the pain is in my back I we my self
mans not being able to walk because my hip feel like it’s coming out my socket and not being able to daily activity just to muscle weakness so now my moms my career
ive ask for other mri scans u can o my have one every 5year but now I’m Conditions worse there’s something else going on with it x
my mom has just been to collect my medical report but dosent say a fat lot on there
but the doctors have said for my doctor to write a letter Describing my pain and how it effects me it would be 65pound 😤😖😣😭😢😩😠🥺😔😟

well I’ve been and seen her today I didn’t ask for anything as yet as I may not need it but they may !
but obviously I have ongoing mris coming throw the post for my hole of my back and neck and a nerve conduction test As my condition is worse will that go against me due to not having then already ??
I poppy I’ve had my medical assessment at home everything went well bearing in mind it was only for 10mintues as I had a bad night last night and he could see I was in pain still he didn’t ask much just about my medication and how I cope with it day to day there wasn’t any Physical Exercises as he could see I was in pain
what do u recommend from that hun
and a nothing quick question do they contact pips??
ive just phoned esa they’ve received my report back on Friday but no Decision made as yet do u no how long it normally takes x
I’ve just contacted ESA for their advice and they said decisionmaker will make their final decision just because the medical advisor ticked the box it doesn’t mean that you’re still in the work related group or placed into the support group Is that right as you said that the decisionmaker normally goes off the report
Thank you poppy
just a nothing quick question
uno Because I was already receiving work related ESA now been put into the support group will I be backdated from the date of the decision or from the day I had my assessment thank you
