home medical assessment refused was created by Beeeejayyy
my doctor wrote a letter saying my oh cannot leave the house due to agoraphobia apparently this letter is not detailed enough? but only told me when i rang to cancel an appointment no letter nothing to say it was not acceptable..so they have refused a home visit and still sending him appointment letters so i now have to re ask the gp to do another letter and bearing in mind he cannot visit the gp it makes it a bit difficult. anyone else encountered this problem ? and what is my best option ? thanks in advance.

The letter must be unambiguous about your being unable to attend at the Assessment Provider's offices, any suggestions that there are circumstances where you can will undermine the letter and prevent a home assessment.

hello belle ,
i also requested a home assessment ,i was being reviewd for a curent award 12 mth before it ends and previously had a home assessment without even asking for one ,,i have agrophobia as well so this time i rung to ask if i could have a home assesment because of my condition ,,i was told on phone if i can send in dr letter stating this they would reconsider pending on the dr letter , i payed £20 for d letter and sent it off recorded delivery ,as ide cancelled one appointment within speaking to them i recieved anothe appointment to attend a f2f ,i rang several times in anticipation for there decision and the day before my appointment still hadnt heard back from them , as i couldnt miss the 2nd appointment or they would close my claim ,i went which was 18 miles away ,at the appointment i asked why ide not een granted a home assesment as heard nothing back ,the lady that did my assessment said ,because ide stated on my review form that i can sometimes get aggresive because of my severe anxiety is probaly the reason a home assesment was not granted ,, well they could of said that from the egining if that the case instead of me wasting paying for a dr letter when they knew they wouldnt of granted in anyway ,,
