ESA has very specific criteria that the claimant needs to meet, this is particularly the case for the Support Group, have a look at our ESA Claim guides for more information.

They can do a Paper Based Review but it is rare for this to happen with ESA, it will depend on the information you have supplied in and with your ESA50.
If a PBR is not done then a home visit will only be granted if you have up to date and unambiguous evidence to show that you cannot attend at their offices.

Most of the UK is waiting 6-9 months for an assessment at Maximus's offices I would expect home assessments to be taking even longer, I would contact them for an update.
