    I had my at home as I suffer with severe anixousty and depression, and epilepsy, and I had a tumour in my right lung thankfully they removed , I am in remission now. But the person that came to see me I was so. Nervous but she was. So patient . I still lost but it went to appeal and I won, I never saw any reports unroll they were sent to me.
    Good luck.x

    Lillybelle my epilepsy is uncontrolled I have 2/3 gran mal  attacks a day and 18 plus absences. Get a letter from your consultant and one from your gp. Don't give up , I also have severe anixousty and depression. I have have had safety stair rails put in shower and toilet . My husband follows me upstairs and when I have a shower sits out side door, so never give up, I have also gone through last six months with any body worse fear I had cancer in the top right lobe of lung. I had operation to remove .
    I am now in remission but every little ain I get bug cold I fear the worse, my anixousty levels are alful.
    I have to have regular checks for five years .
    Good luck to you .

    Hi cathie

    It is not unusual for the HCP to refuse you see what has been written. In practice it would not have told you anything as the actual report is written up later.
    You should ask for a copy of the report within the next few days, do not be fobbed off by the phone jockey, some will tell you it is not available until decision is made. This is untrue and you are entitled to it as soon as the DWP receive it

    Lillybelle my epilepsy started when I was 15 I had meninghitus.  So like you I have to live with it, as they have never been able to control .

    I have grand mal and petty mal , although my consultant says petty they call absences. My advice ring your consultants secretary up and ask if you can have a letter asap to say what sort of fits you have and if not controlled. It will help.
