Hi Binky
No home assessments are being done in the current climate and I suspect it will be a very long time before they are restarted. Sometimes advice from doctors about telephone assessments are ignored - so you may have to fight this point. Like many people you have done everything you can to provide them with lots of evidence - let's hope they read it and make a paper-based decision.

Hi Binky
If you triggered the review with a change of circumstances (ie your condition has worsened) - then they normally reassess claimants - in which case they may try and do a telephone assessment, but they may just do a paper-based assessment. We can't tell you with any certainty what they will do. There is little standard practice in these circumstances and particularly in these difficult times.
