placed into WRAG but problems attendind

After receiving the phone call about my esa medical I was told I was being placed in the WRAG, meaning I am expected to attend a certain amount of interviews. Due to mental health problems I am unable to leave my home even into the back garden without my OH acopanying me.
Without my OH taking time off work I would be unable to attend such interviews, is there any way around this sitatuation as I cannot afford to loose my money either?
We are certain that I should be in the support group due to other mental and physical issues.
Do you still have to attend the WRAG whilst on appeal?
Thank you inadvance for any constructive advise

You might be able to get the Work focussed interviews (WFIs) done over the phone or even at home. Seems to some decent evidence people have some success at getting them done over phone... contact the jobcentre in question and see if this is possible.
They may still require you to attend WFIs while appealing. If you do appeal then advise you get supporting medical evidence of the support group descriptor(s) that apply...also advise you obviously get hold of the evidence used by DWP to put you in WRAG so you can make you case with full knowledge of the evidence in play."Do not attribute to conspiracy what can adequately be explained by incompetence" - rogerblack0
