Medical Services Refused Me Home Visit? was created by Sherlock
Hi, My doctor faxed Medical Services to confirm that I will be unable to attend my medical with them this Monday 12-7-10 because of my severe anxiety and requested a home visit on my behalf.
Mediacal Services has refused my home visit on the grounds 'they say they cannot see any medical reason why I cannot attend!!???? Huh, My doctor who knows me has just told them!. I suggested they contact my doctor for further information if they needed to but they said the decision has been made. They are really out for blood!. I dont know what to do, my benifit will be stopped. Please can you give me some guidence I feel backed into a corner and am freaking out.

Hi Sherlock,

I'm sorry if this reaches you too late.

The only responsible response we can make is that if you fail to attend a medical without just cause your benefit may be stopped.

Whilst i think that you do indeed have just cause, it sadly wouldn't be me but a decision maker and possibly a tribunal that would decide the matter.

Given that you couldn't be certain of the outcome then not attending would be an enormous risk.

Good luck,

Steve

Thanks Steve and Grendal, I went to the medical, it wasn't pleasent but could have been worse, lots of leading questions as expected. I gave honest answers as usual lets see if I get a honest report sent out. My BP was 197 / 127 :blush: at the medical if that doesnt show excessive strain / anxiety I dont know what does.

Regards

Sherlock
