ESA home visit re medical next week

Last minute panic setting in :/

I don't sit in an ordinary chair at home but have one that completely reclines , so I said in my ESA 50 that I couldn't sit only recline however will they pick me up on the fact that when my husband takes me out in my wheelchair I sit ? How would I reply to that ?


Thank you

Ok gel seat reclining in car etc .. Phew

Hi Fiona You could say, you use your wheel chair out of necessity but sitting with a straight back exacerbates your condition that is why you use your recliner in your home, or words to that effect

Well the dr has been and gone at this point in time I can only take things on face value . She was extremely courteous and kind . She has read my details through before hand and also had my gp's letter . She said she wanted to emphasise on her report how I was unable to self propel in the wheelchair and told me all she was writing in the report and that fingers crossed they would take her recommendations that I had such vast medical problems I would be unable to work again .

I've heard such nightmare stories I don't want to get my hopes up but ...


Thank you all for your advice and putting up with me panicking

Hi f,

I am glad to hear that it wasn't a "Bad" experience.

Please keep us updated.
