I'm afraid ESA and PIP are separate benefits although they look at many common areas, so being in receipt of PIP will not excuse you having to attend an ESA assessment and although you may have attended a PIP assessment the areas that this looked at our sufficiently different that a PIP assessment report cannot be used to replace one specifically carried out for ESA.
If attending a Maximus office would cause you issue then you can ask for a home assessment but you will need the support of your GP to write a letter to Maximus explaining why you cannot attend at their offices.

Dear B&W,
Today i've received a letter from ESA.
They have confiremed amount of money which i'm getting and this is from 18.06.16 -£186.90 a week...
"This is because of:
a decision on your capability for work. You have been placed in the Support Group. You meet the eligibility criteria for SG...."
I feel puzzled .
You probably remember i had a health assessment with them beginning of June. Does this meen my Assessment went trough? i didnt receive any thorough explanation with ESA like i did with PIP. i.e. you get this many points because of this etc.
I dont know . i feel numb.
Thank You in Advance
Peace

I can't see whether you were in the SG prior to this letter, if you were then I would recommend that you contact the DWP for confirmation of the award, we have had a couple of members receive similar letters who are actually still going through a reassessment.
If you weren't previously in the SG then congratulations on the award, well done.
ESA differs from PIP in that the Decision Makers Statement of Reasons is only issued for a failed award, not a successful one. You can request a copy of the assessment report (ESA85) and this should give you some idea of why the award was made.
