I'm not the helpline @Annh7
but just wanted to offer you my support. This sounds very cruel for someone who can'y physically get to the jobcentre. If I was you I'd actually telephone the Helpline when they open this morning ((()))
Take care

Hi@Annh7
Thanks for your post to the Helpline and sorry to hear that you are under pressure to physically attend a meeting. Whenever we speak to people about benefits and appeals and this whole area, we always recommend you involve a welfare specialist organisation to assist and advise. A Citizens Advice would be a first suggestion.
I'm sure the Citizens Advice would want you to explain (and possibly remind) the Job Centre of the long term health issues which affect you - and as long as your GP is aware of all of the health issues which you are referring to (not just the physical ones).
If you'd like to talk things over, do ring us on our freephone 0800 5200 520.
All the best
