ESA FACE TO FACE HELP NEEDED was created by jorgie2016
Sent the form back and got a white envelope for the 9th may 9am.Phoned the health assessments advisory service and spoke to a lady who was helpful.I explained that I wanted a home visit and that if I could attend the appointment iam unable to travel the distance to Glasgow,and at 9am in the morning.She must have had my case in front of her and seen that I couldn't go and apoligised and cancelled the appointment,but said they were waiting for my Doctor sending back the ESA311 which might mean no face to face.
Phoned Docters and my form was there,said they would bump it up the pile which did was posted next day..
It's 2 new Doctors,female as the 2 men retired.
Today I got a white envelope with another face to face 22nd may 11.30 am and be there 10 mins before ,I've told the I cannot stand sit walk 20 metres without pain and breathless..
On Wed 25th I had a Diabetic Review with nurse,,she checked my urine sample and it was full of Ketones,Blood Sugar 24.7,they have been high for months,she got the Docter to check me,imo she know's little about diabetes as she had to phone the hospital what to do where she was told to send me up to be admitted,she asked me if I had money for a taxi lol,i said a would take my car up,she said that I was unfit to drive,had to phone my brother.Anyway she wrote a letter and told one of the girls to copy my history going back 54 year.Went right into the printers and got the 7 pages copied.OH forgot a main point,told her to give a letter to miss the face to face,now she only has to scroll and see am a walking miracle,but asked why,had to explain to her I can't walk'sit'stand,SHE SAID SHE WAS AT A MEETING WITH THE DWP AND OTHER DOCTORS,THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD IF YOU CAN GET TO THE SURGERY YOUR NOT HOUSE BOUND AND CAN ATTEND FACE TO FACE ASSESSMENTS.When I read the 7 pages she know's nothing about me,i can't wait to see what she put on the ESA311 as I now have the evidence to imo sue her for telling porkies.On Monday i'll be phone for a real look as there is plenty missing,sorry for the length.

As you have already cancelled one appointment you must attend the second one if no home assessment is offered, or you risk you claim being closed by the DWP for failing to attend.

You need your GP to write Maximus, ignore what they might have written in an ESA113, explaining why you cannot attend at their office, their reasons must be unambiguous, any suggestion that there are circumstances where you could will devalue the letter.

Gordon thanks for your reply,my Doctor will not write me a letter as she has been told by the DWP not to write letters if you are able to go to the surgery,so I'm in a no win place.As I said the evidence I have makes her a liar and has seen me 3 times in person,i take your advice and phone tomorrow and tell them I will attend .

Went to the Medical and told the Reception that I can't sit,stand,walk for any period of time,had a friend with me.She got my folder and said I was being seen by a Profesional and it would be in 5/10 minutes and it was as requested on ground floor.Was asked about my medical problems and how I manage,nothing about £1 coins,milk,cardboard boxes.When I last worked and reason I cannot do it anymore,asked some other things and said she had enough.Itold her how my depression started and broke down.Once I composed myself she said she was a Doctor and said she wouldn't know how she would cope in the situation I told her.She told me as she is a Doctor the DWP take her report in most cases.She also advised me about help I can get and that I might be entitled to extra money and told me not to worry.She was very nice to me and said I will get a letter in a few weeks,i'm in the support group income,get DLA high and low carres,so what if any extra money would I get if I'm kept in the support group.Thanking You

Hi Gordon,
Got the brown envelope and I have been kept in the income ESA support group,no length of award.I phoned and asked for a copy of the HCP report and asked when I would be re assessed,she said 3 years,can I get a copy of the DWP D/M report for the reasons I meet the criteria ?.I got the HCP who was a Doctor and it was 90% accurate,i'm on DLA high for mobility.DLA low for carer,would I be better applying for PIP now? as I think the HCP report more than covers for high rate on both mobility and daily care imo.
Thanks
Jorgie
