I told thebitchassessor that to the end of my front garden was around 5 metres. She neglected to mention that. They lie by omission.
She did recommend in her report that I have a home assessment at review (although my daugher still had to make a complaint to get me that when the time came because ATOS really don't like to offer these).
DWP guidelines state that people with autism should always be offered a home assessment, so it's shocking to hear that you were dragged into a centre! I was offered a home one for PIP without asking, so Capita were (at the time, anyway – it was over a year ago) at least sticking to the rules there.
@Simbindi – I'm afraid I can't find the agreement that was sent to me, which gave a list of conditions for which a home assessment should automatically be offered (which included autism). I'm not due to be reassessed for about four years, by which time everything's likely to have changed anyway, so I probably deleted it!
It's good that you did eventually get one, which should be useful as a precedent in the future...just sorry it was such a struggle!
