Hi painter

A huge warm welcome to nmp.

You'll get loads of advice and support here and make some lovely friends along the way.

Best wishes

Hi there,

I would phone them, tell them you're agraphobic and ask if the meeting can be conducted in your home. Maybe you could have someone there with you as well like a close friend or relative?

Good Luck.

hello thanks for the reply. have phoned them and they are going to talk to my daughter and hopefully do the interview over the phone with her. so all should be ok.
thanks again

Good stuff! Hope it all goes well for you.

Regards.

Hope all goes well for you.
I have not been out the house alone for years and can not really go far even with someone.
I am dreading this happening to me as well
