Home visit requested before PIP2 submitted - help!

Hi There,

Hello,

I am due to return my completed PIPform 2 by 18th Feb and have an appointment to have help filling in the form at the Citizen's Advice on 16th Feb. However, I got a message today on my answerphone saying 'Hello, this is Mrs X from the DWP, we have been asked to contact you to make an appointment to come and visit you with regards to PIP, please call me etc.'. I was shocked. This makes me very nervous and I don't understand what I should do. I would prefer to slowly and carefully gather my evidence in writing and submit it accordingly. I was going to work on it in the coming days before taking it to the CAB for checking. Each time I have done that with ESA the evidence has been substantial enough to be put into the Support group without a medical. Like most people I would like to avoid face to face or telephone questions wherever possible. Please advise me on this situation. I feel intimidated and threatened. The problem is that I spent years trying to get people to understand the difference between intelligence and wellness. I went to tribunal for ESA and got awarded 27 points but I just can't go through it again. I am afraid of them coming to my home and although it would be hard to go for a medical I would do it with support from a friend. I am back on ESA and awaiting the results of my ESA50 submission and all this is coming at once and making me very ill indeed.Can they force me to skip the written submission? My thanks for your kind advice.

Thanks Gordon that is very reassuring. I think this happened because I wrote to them and requested form PIP1. In the meantime I asked your advice and you said people were having trouble trying to get that form so as it was the last day of my deadline I conceded and picked up the phone. Do you think they've decided I'm too ill to attend a medical and not picked up on the fact that I made the call to give the info for PiP1 in the end? I feel my letter gas confused the issue in some ways.
