Trying to arrange a home medical for my daughter as hasn't been well enough to leave the house for the last 6 weeks. Only normally goes out for 1/2 once a fortnight. ATOS say no. Waiting to talk to ourGP as she faxed through a letter for ESA. ATOS say this is not an option. Any advice welcome please. Very new here so hope I have done this right !

Have you been able to confirm that ATOS have received the GP's letter?

I'm afraid home assessments are at the discretion of the Assessment Provider, if you indicated in daughter's PIP2 form that she leaves the house every fortnight then this will likely count against a home assessment being allowed.

You can try to involve you MP. See
