WRAG problem

Hi
I have just got my ESA thing back and it says I must attend work related interviews or whatever they are, but part of my problem is that I haven't left the house by myself for six years. There is no way I can get there. I live by myself and I don't go out or use the phone. I am seeing a psychiatrist and a cpn who comes to my house, but it isn't getting better any time soon.

I don't know what to do. I can't get there - they know I can't get there as I put on the form I can't leave the house, and they have awarded me ESA so they must have looked at the form. If I could do what they are asking me to do I would do it - but if I could do what they are asking me to do I wouldn't need ESA in the first place.

Is there anything I can do? Thank you for any advice.

Hi Dee,

You can request that the interviews are carried out in your home. I don't know how many people have had this request granted, I'm afraid.

Thank you for the very speedy replies!

I don't use the phone but I will certainly ask that they do them at my home. I have been crying about that since the letter arrived - thank you so much.

If you can get a health professional (GP, consultant, CPN) to back up your request it certainly can't hurt!
