    Ah ok then you wil need to fill in an ESA 3 form which is just a financial check.,  When you receive an IR top up this entitles you to help with NHS services

    Hi I been on esa.
    I do have anxiety / depression and tinnitus. In both hands sometimes pain is awfull. Apart from my anxiety it's all to much on times. I'm on medication for a number of ailments,
    I had appointment for pip but didn't go as I felt anxious about facing a board of people.
    MY support worker called them told them the reason. That was bk
    In September
    Few weeks ago. I had call to ask why I didn't go. I told them why and would prefer to have home visit still waiting what should I do next
     Thankyou

    Hi Stephe

    It would be easier if you started your own  thread

    Normally a home visit requires a very specific GP's letter stating that you cannot attend an assessment centre and the reasons why

    An assessment is usually conducted by one person a nurse, paramedic or similar. Is it possible for you to take your support worker with you if you do have to attend ?
