Yes the GP can write a letter of support, what I am saying is that they need to explain in as much detail as possible why Samra meets the ESA Descriptors.
For example; the patient has chronic Osteoarthritis in their knees and wrists, this precludes them from walking more than 10m at any time and they would not be able to self-propel a manual wheelchair.

If you are working full time, or 24 hours or more a week, then it's unlikely that you can claim any other benefits.
It's not clear from your post who is receiving the DLA Care, Samra or your son, if it is your son, the you should check to see if you are receiving the Disability element for the Child Tax Credits.

Hi S,
I have merged your post to your main topic for continuity.
To ensure that you can find this topic easily on your next visit, you can either Bookmark/Favourite the page in your internet browser, generally done at top right of page.
Or you can left click your mouse/pad on your blue username which brings up a list of your previous posts.
Your G.P. needs to confirm Samra's medical condition/s then give reasons why the symptoms/limitations caused by the medical conditions mean that she cannot attend an Assessment Centre, by using public transport, a car or taxi and therefore has the need of a Home Assessment.
