Refusing home visit or adaptations?

No of course if she needed permanent adaptations then that would be fine. Its just if she gets an over zealous assessor again who wants things putting in when she really doesn't need them.
Thankfully she receives pip as well, so we're looking at working tax credits.
It's silly how the system is set up in such a way as to disadvantage couples and make them poorer. We couldn't hope to survive on my salary alone

I don't believe I've ever heard of an assessor for ESA/PIP make you make changes to your home.
They judge on what you have or need, their job isn't one of a social worker or occupational therapist.

And ESA assessment wouldn't involve putting grab rails in your house, that's a social work assessment done by the council.

Most sick and disabled people find they have to fight for everything - an over zealous assessor would be a rare and wonderful thing!

Hi, I was thinking the same thing

I want my girlfriend to live with me as long as I can put the look of my house before her needs?

I wasn't even going to go there. My husbands had to move into a building site to accommodate my needs, it was that or a sheltered house.
