My wife had an home assessment, we didn’t ask for one, the second one she had was at home too, the assessor said it would not affect her mobility component… 4 weeks later they took all her PIP away from her! Bare in mind she has only one leg.
that sucks, does she walk with a prosthetic because I think they brought in a ruling suggesting walking with a prosthetic is the same as walking with two legs, absolute nonsense , much like if u can propel yourself in a manual wheelchair is the same as walking that distance.
my personal concern for a home visit is My home is an unusual layout in that from my front room to my bedroom I have a 12 meter hallway between, the front door is about ten meters from front room, I imagine they will make an instant assumption based on my ability to answer the front door.
