At last i have today received a appointment for my Capita home visit it has only taken them 6 months and intervention from my local mp to get a appointment but were on the home stretch at last 
great news ! easy bit next then

is this for your support allowance for esa or for pip
its for pip Gus i will tell them my worse day , thanks i will google it
Hi there Shelly65,
Its such a shame that you need to have a home visit, This will take more time and hold up your claim even longer. I don`t understand why some people have to have a home visit and some people get the benefit without the need for an assessment. How do they decide who needs one and who dosen`t Does it depend on what evidence you send them? i am quite confused how it works. Still haven`t heard about my claim yet.
hi candy. yes i think it does go on the evidence.as i sent a picture of all my tablets on 37 a day.paperwork from my lumber injections,deep brain stimulation opp ,pd movement specialist nurse,gp,pd nurse & consultants
Hi Shelly, I tried to send a private message to you but don't know if you can still do this. The reason is that I suggest you take a look at the Benefit and works site. This has really good information about claiming and how to approach interviews etc.I am not sure that I am allowed to suggest this site, so it might disappear.
Good luck with your interview.
Hi Gus,
I sent a copy of the letter confirming diagnosis, And I also sent list of meds, So this might be enough then?
lets hope so.A picture of all your meds helps laid out on a table,with writing next to them telling them what there for.It worked for my mate who has diabetes ,never to late to send!
I have just posted a sarcastic viewpoint on a reduction in my benefits and a critical opinion of the DWP AND IDS, it was vaporised, so that NO NO THEN.
FED
wheres the posting fed
Hi Fedex
We haven't removed any of your posts recently. I noticed that you've said a number of times that your posts are disappearing. Could.you send us an email and give us as much detail as possible about this? For example, does it happen after you've pressed 'save'? His often does it happen?
We'll see if we can get to the bottom of this.
Thanks,
Ezinda
Thanks Angel and Candy
Angel i do have private messaging enabled so don't know why it would not send mind you i could not get onto the forum at all yesterday for some reason , i will certainly look it up thank you
Candy I am not sure of what criteria they use to decide who needs assessments and who does not but initially i was told i had to go to the clinic but was then offered a home visit due to my mobility issues having to wear a day splint and night splint etc , my initial claim was started on 4 th septembr last year it took 2 phone calls from my mp to capita to finally get a date for the home visit which isn't till 11th March but at least i have a appointment date , i sent letters from my consultant and meds list which consists of 16 tablets a day but still need a assessment
good luck with your claim candy
Hi Shelly65,
Good luck on the 11th, I really hope that you get your claim sorted and that once you have had your assessment you get the money you are entitled to as soon as possible, Will it all be backdated? I hope so it`s the least they can do for making you wait so long. I haven`t heard anything yet but only been a month, Early days for me. Good luck.
sorry to but in.yes all claims are back dated if that helps !
Thats ok Gus
So claims are backdated from the day you apply, Is that right
if your claiming esa support group it goes back to the 12 th week,any other benefits are from the date you filled the form in .hope this helps
Yes thanks Gus.
