Struggling to get ESA

I’ve asked repeatedly for a home visit, I’ve been invited again to Birmingham to the assessment centre even though I’ve sent in medical evidence to say I can’t travel that far on my own! My career (my husband) suffers with agrophobia and I’ve told them repeatedly, I’m at my wits end! Just wanted to know if anyone knows a way around it, or could suggest a job I could try as I’m 24years lipolyphodema patient only mobile on crutches 😢

If you live war this hospital you would be entitled to patient transport but if not you would have to apply for funding from your Health Board which your Gp is obligated to do for you. Xx
