My first assessment went through within 2 weeks,3 years ago with atos.
A tad worrying because i need to stay in the support group ie transitional protection from IB to ESA due to a war pension

The delay is not reflective of any recommendation that Maximus might make and your ESA will remain in payment at the current rate until a new Decision is made.

There are no legally defined timescales for an assessment to be completed within so I think the opportunity to pursue the matter legally is very limited.

Naturally I declined, as it's far too short notice, and as the biggest problem for which I am off work is Panic Disorder/Agoraphobia, I naturally need someone else to take me there and my anxiety will be sky high!
So i explained to the appointment booker that I had previously had a doctor's letter in 2013 stating that I would be unable to cope with F2F so could I have a home visit?(Although in 2013 no home visit ever happened and they awarded me the ESA based solely on my ESA form)
The appointment booker said I need a fresh doctor's letter which I have just requested, and hope that even though I am now with a different doctor after mine retired, that the new one will cooperate and it will get me a home assessment.
My question is, how often do people get awarded a home visit and can it be tape recorded?
