DLA to Pip refused paper based or home assesment

Hi I filled in my pip form and sent it with evidence that amongst other things I suffer from severe add ptsd panic attacks and am currently self harming and having suicidal thoughts due to extreme distress. I also sent in an atos report from 2008 're incapacity benefit where she had stated I was in an exempt category and should not have been called for interview. I pointed out that non of the conditions she identified improve and most have got worse. I ticked the box for home visit but commented I was even too fragile for that. Today I received a letter saying I have to go for an assessment on the 8th. The place is difficult to get to anyway and I have no one available who would be able to go with me. I don't have time to try to get my mp involveď as it's only a week away. During the past year I've had 2 bereavements plus my dad is 91 and housebound, my aunt has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and my partner cheated and walked out. Since he left
I have hardly been able to leave the house unless I order a cab which I can't afford. I'm feeling desperate help!!!

hi Gordon,
Well I ended up speaking to them, crazy but I have to pretend to be a 3rd party to speak to them, partly because I get anxious and partly because Im scared they will say well if she's able to call and put her case forward she's not that bad. The assessment center is almost 90 minutes away by public transport. As the other person I could explain calmly about the self harming and suicidal thoughts. They said they would review it and either make a paper based assessment or put me down for a home visit. This morning I received a letter saying I had to go to the assessment center this Saturday or my money would be stopped. I'm shaking and panicking. I did manage to call them as the 3rd party and they said 'well if she is able to visit her 91 year old dad 200 miles away using public transport she is able to come to the assessment center'. I explained that it was the only way I could see my dad and that I'm going to be too stressed but they basically said tough I have to attend or else. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed a friend is free to go with me as otherwise there is no way I can face going. I told them about my recent bereavement as well, I don't know what to do.

oh god I've just found out my friend can't go on Sat, I can't go on my own, I don't know what to do

no but I will Apparently though he told the dwp that I am able to go on holiday and that I have no problem engaging with people!! I've found someone to go with me but I'm now worrying.that because I make myself go on the train to see my dad 200 miles away as he is too frail to visit me and I can't drive, I will not get anything. I have to get a cab to the train station and one at the other end. The alternative would be to never see my dad again!
