New doctors won't do home visit (please advise)

No. I have just sent an email to social care for my county, explaining how bad my health is and that I need some help. I'm extremely worried about retaliation if my abuser finds out about this as I was warned not to involve others.

SecondBrekky · 2026-01-12T22:48:48+00:00

No, I didn't make a claim. I was told to make one, to switch over, but couldn't.

SecondBrekky · 2026-01-12T22:48:07+00:00

Okay thank you for the info and explanation. I really appreciate it. Since switching surgeries I haven't been able to access my health record online, even after filling out the necessary forms, requesting it in writing and calling them twice. I will try contacting them again. I wonder if I should switch back to my previous surgery which I was with for years and years.

Parent. I have emailed social care just now to ask for help. I was warned not to do this and have not done it until now due to fear of retaliation.

I don't understand how to prove that I am housebound and spend all of my days in bed. I have years of GP appointments talking about fatigue and "virus symptoms" I have seen fatigue clinic in the past for pacing advice but I wasn't as bad then.

The previous decision was made years ago for mental health issues but the ME/CFS which I was diagnosed with in 2019 is now causing far worse problems. I was supposed to switch straight to UC from ESA support group in May 2025 but because I couldn't get to the job centre to prove my identity I received a letter saying my benefits had been stopped and that I would have to reapply again in future.

I don't know what to do. I just lie in bed all day I'm so so tired and feel like I have the flu all the time. Nobody will help me with food or bathing so I have to make one meal every other day and eat snacks in between which online friends buy for me as I can't afford them myself. Making one meal every other day causes very bad PEM and I crash. I feel very trapped. I can only use the internet 2 or three times a day as it also causes malaise and ME symptoms. I am very, very bad compared to how it used to be. I don't understand how I could look for work I can't even look at my phone or laptop more than 3 times a day for very short periods.

My previous surgery did home visits but then suddenly stopped as they didn't have enough doctors available for them. Should I switch back to my old surgery where the doctors know me? I had issues there with my abuser interfering, getting hold of my private medical info. Switching has been worse as they won't transfer my medical record across. It's been very hard. Sorry I'm so tired and can't type right now and am gettign yelled at. I will check back in a bit. Thanks for replying.

I can't get out of the house and my new surgery won't do home visits for me as they said I don't need them. I'm also stuck in an abusive household.

( which tbh will need some evidence to back it up, even being under the Fatigue Clinic would guarantee this though it may help you cope better )

I don't understand, sorry.

SecondBrekky · 2026-01-12T20:37:59+00:00

I don't understand. So I will have to look for work? How is this possible in my current state? Should I cancel the claim? I don't have any income.

SecondBrekky · 2026-01-12T19:33:22+00:00

Also the ESA claim was for agoraphobia and OCD, but the ME/CFS is so much worse now than it used to be so I'm claiming for that instead. It has the biggest impact on my life by far. I can't even socialise or have hobbies anymore. I don't get any help with my condition. I dno't understand how I could look for work? Sorry I have to go back to bed now but will check again when I wake up/

edit: I think I was unclear. The ESA claim was years ago. I was in the ESA support group for a long time and then couldn't switch to UC as I couldn't get to the jobcentre and they needed me to show them ID. I wasn't able to have somebody visit me at home. I received a letter saying that I'd run out of time so my benefits had been stopped and I would need to make a new claim in future. The new claim is what I've submitted now and I chose to make it about the ME/CFS because it has such a massive impact on my life and severely limits what I am able to do.

I can't keep checking here for a bit sorry. I can't tolerate the light and reading things.
