Hi I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety I can't leave the house and have panic attacks. I attended a assessment and didn't score any points. I rang dwp and I'm currently waiting for a call back to appeal against this. I'm not on any other benefit and i have no money coming in at all. I can't sign on because I can't leave the house. I don't have a clue what to do next. Due to the stress of all this I've had to have my medication increased and I hardly sleep due to worry. Please advise what to do next. Thank you

Hi @jessay220, thanks for sharing this with us.
I'm so sorry to hear about your experiences- it can feel like such a frustrating and overwhelming process, but hopefully we can help. Do have a look at Scope's guidance on appealing DWP decisions, and let us know if you have any further questions.
