Hi all, I just wondered how long i should expect to wait for a home visit, I have been told i will have one, but that was way back in September 2017. Every day i look for the post its driving me nuts. I am still being paid my money and still in the support group but its the waiting and not knowing. I dont really want to phone them as i have many times before
Thanks all
I was on ESA Support group before for 4 years now that date is up
Hi
Are you on income based or contribution based ?
income
Ok if I where you I would just wait as long as you are getting your money don't rock the boat .Also you say you have phoned them so try not to stress about it
The old saying No new is good news
yes i phoned many times in the end they told me not to worry and sent me a letter saying i would get a home visit but as i said was a while back now, its the waiting. Yes no news is good news but its hanging over me and others also i expect , i dont know why they dont keep intouch
Hi I would leave well alone. Don't ring them again.
They have either forgot about you (which I doubt) or they may have decided that you don't need to have an assessment.. but forgot to tell you.
I've been in the support group for around 4 years and haven't heard a thing from them yet.
I was worried for a while but I decided not to let it bother me until I get a letter from them.
I am more worried about PIP at the minute.. just sent my form in and am dreading having to do a F2F with them. 😥😥😥
I know it is easier said than done but please don't let it get to you. 🌹🌼🌹
Oh they know about me they sent me the ESA 50 i think it is i filled it in again in sept But i am watching the postman every day , you know what its like
Ps.. Did the ESA actually send you out another medical questionnaire to fill in and send back to them?
If so did they tell you that you have to be assessed, and if so, did you ask for a home visit?
Yes i sent a letter from the GP they have wrote back saying just wait easy said
oh i got my PIP a few Months before that was a nightmare as well but i got it both high rate whatever they call it lol
That's great that you got PIP which should mean that you should remain in the support group of ESA. 👍👍
Unfortunately being awared PIP does not mean you necessary will stay in Support Group of ESA .Many are able to work and use their PIP for help thay need to get to work and more are being put into Work related ESA .
So unfortunately entitlement to PIP does not guarantee Support Group
No i know that , that wasnt my question, They are two differant awards for two differant things
Hi Rose54, I know what you mean and that's very true.
What I meant.. taking jb007 for example.
Jb007 was awarded PIP enhanced care and enhanced mobility.
Now, we all know your head basically has to be hanging off to be awarded any enhanced component of PIP, therefore, anyone who is classed as severely disabled by the Government's criteria is in no way fit for work.
If ESA were to find jb007 fit for work, well it wouldn't surprise me but it would validate just how crazy and useless the Government/DWP really are. Their system is unfit for purpose.

Hi mattoid-mags
I do agree and completely understand hopefully things will change but I doubt it.
September was 9 months ago.. that's a long time.
Not sure what's going on but I definitely wouldn't be ringing them again.
🌼🌹🌼
I'll try to relax lol not easy
No i wont phone them again, My MP did and my GP has wrote its just worry as you all know
I know it's not easy, it's a very stressful business.
I think it will all work out in the end.
Wishing you the very best of luck 🍀🍀🍀
Thank you , wishing you luck also and everyone else in these positions
Thank you 👍🌼🌹
Hi Ajay575, I have been wondering about what you said as i havnt heard about a new criteria for no reapeat assessment could you tell me more about it if possible please
Thank you for your reply, I havnt heard anything so i will just wait , i am still getting my money both PIP and ESA i dont want to rock the boat as it were . Thank you
Well I had my home visit after over 2 years of waiting had it on the 7th May. Now more waiting for the result the Doctor seamed a nice man but you can never tell until you get the answer from the DWP. Wish me luck ☺️
Ah, I'm still waiting for my home assessment, been waiting since December 2017, I wouldn't worry about it as long as you are being paid 
Maybe it's because of people being switch to UC, I don't know, I'd rather just be left alone tbh.
Yes I was kept waiting since september 2017 . Still it's done now so just have to wait for the DWP reply letter. Was in the support group I hope they don't try to change things . Just wish they would leave me alone .
Esa home visit assessment lasted 10-15minutes
