I have just had a text that typically I cannot reply to by calling on Monday.
I am supposed to attend my pip medical at 8.45am on 5/12 2017 in York from Harrogate where we live.i cannot cope travelling that far I hoped I'd sent enough evidence but obviously haven't.
I also have a number of illnesses and disabilities and am now worried sick I wont get pip.
Firstly I'm severely agoraphobic I can only manage emergency Drs appointments at the out of hours dr in the middle of the night when the hospital is deserted.i never attended my mum dad or brothers funerals I do not go out at at except for medical emergencies.
I also have severe social phobia and cannot cope with anyone visiting our flat which is tiny one bedroomed and very untidy to the point of hoarding.we do not have a sofa I lie on the floor or in bed.i am too embarrassed for anyone to visit even my mother and father in law.I am also ill with diabetes type 2,asthma,severe latex,food allergies lactose intolerance carpel tunnel syndrome,severe fibromyalgia I do something one day have to rest the next few It takes it out of me,,ibs,p.c.o.s (overies),N.E.A.D (fits) usually bought on by stress and lack of sleep,severe exhaustion,anxiety,stress,panic attacks,high blood pressure,high cholesterol,frozen shoulder,fibrofog,fatigue.Both feet ALL toes hammer toes impossible to find shoes that fit and don't rub a tailors bunion one side and jelly bubble on the other my feet still throb painfully when im lying in bed and not walking on them,I still get unbearable pain, I cant walk i shuffle i cant put my legs up to rest them.am still in pain.i can not walk without severe pain immediately and have to stop and rest.
All I can think of is i would be willing but it would exhaust me to see them at my mother In. Laws who lives just a mile away,but would that scupper my agoraphobia? I cant sleep with worry and its making my health worse.
Sorry if it is long and rambles im not good on these.
Help if I don't get this pip I dont know what ill do kill myself probably I'm so stressed sorry!!

So the first thing you need to do is to get a home assessment authorised, you will not be able to do this without the help of your GP as you will need them to write to the Assessment Provider to explain why you cannot attend at their offices. They must be explicit that you cannot attend, any suggestion that you might will defeat the purpose of the letter, so you do not want them to use words such as "may" or "could" when describing your problems.

If you get a home assessment then you can try and move it to a location that you can manage such as your mother's house.
