home medical re renewal esa was created by Mossy
filled in form for renewal/reassessment of ESA and have just received a letter giving me a date for a home medical.
It falls on the day we are going away for the first time in 8 years
. Any suggestions of what excuse I should give for needing to reschedule. Don't want to say im away on holiday tbh??
Also how have people found the home medicals, anything I should know
Kind regards and thank you

If you have not done so already, you need to inform the DWP that you will be away from your normal place of residence for a period of time.
A home assessment for ESA is similar to one at an ATOS office, however, it will not involve the LiMa software and the assessor will produce a written report. The following has details of the questions you may be asked

Hi f,
Whilst also taking heed of Gordon's advice, you are allowed to rearrange an assessment once.
This must be done through ATOS.
