I don't go out, I find going to unfamiliar places harrowing and the thought of someone examining me... I understand a home visit could be arranged but that has its own terrors. I'm in such a bad place I'm terrified. No one understands the thought process that gets me through a single day. Pain, depression and panic are impossible to control. I just need a,...I dont even now what i need. Sorry.

A Face to Face assessment is a standard part of the ESA and PIP processes, so you should not read anything into your receiving an appointment.

Our Claim guides for both benefits include sections on the asssessment and the questions you are likely to be asked,.

If we can help further then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
