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 ?
