Received assessment date for 18th april as i said on my other post.
I have been told I have to travel for it as I cant have an home assessment.
Anyway went to the doctors for a review appt. Told doctor about me having to travel. Hes gone spare, he said whats the point of asking for a doctors letter requesting a home visit if they dont take any notice of it.
Im still going my anxiety is through the roof as it is without pushing it back further. I want it over and done. I hate going out because my bowels play up so having to sit in an assessment is gona be terrible xx

@ollieandduke Just remember that travelling to your assessment rather than having a home one will go against you for mobility descriptor for journeying. Especially if you go on your own.
