You were very lucky last time to have a paper based decision, most people have to have a f2f assessment. You could ask for a home assessment but you'll need a letter from your GP stating the reasons why you need this. Other than that do you have someone that can go with you to this assessment?

Do you have a CPN / support worker / family member / friend who can help you?

I would suggest ringing the assessors, explaining that because of your continuing poor mental health you -
a) would need to organise a taxi,
b) explain why a HV would be better - as poppy says if your GP / CPN will support you with this it should carry weight,

Again, as poppy suggests have someone accompany you at the assessment.
