Hi m,
Welcome to Benefits and Work
As you are in The WRAG, you do have to take part in WFI's or other forms of Work Related Actviity (WRA) under threat of sanction for failing to comply without good cause.
See : Work Focused Interviews (WFI's)
Work Programme.
&
ESA Sanctions
From our : ESA FAQ’s
However, they cannot compel you to actively seek or take up employment, as being in The WRAG means that you have Limited Capability for Work (LCW) i.e. you are "unfit for work".
Any form of WRA that you have to take part in should take into account your medical conditions and resulting limitations.
If this is your first WFI, it may simply be to discuss your works history, and any help that you may need in compiling a new CV, etc, with a view to seeking work at some time in the future when you are fit enough to, that being the case of course.

I recently moved to a new borough in London and within three days of my changing my address details have received a letter from the job center asking me to go in for an interview and possibility of working. I have a long term illness and am on ESA (in the WRAG group) and receiving DLA, the lower end of both mobility and living components.
As much as I would love to go back to work my condition gives me very very limited options. Any advise would be greatly appreciated as I am very nervous and stressed of what may happen to me.
Thank you for reading this and again apologies if this is in the wrong area.
