I've had a look through the 2013 Legislation for ESA and I can't see any exemption for members of the SG in regard to attending Work-Focused Interviews.

Have you contacted your Work Coach to see whether the WFI can be carried out over the phone as a reasonable adjustment?

I used to have these, They would ask "is there anything we can do to help you into work", I would reply "no" and that, literally, would be it for another three years, eventually they got the message and stopped asking me.

Also, check your Claimant Commitment it may need updating now that you have an award.

Appointee in place
J3271 In all appointee cases the need for a claimant to accept a claimant commitment is waived (see further guidance in ADM Chapter J1) and work-related requirements are switched off. There should be no mandatory activities, including mandatory WFI's and no sanction action taken.
