Further to this letter - click here to read.

I have spoken to the person to whom it was sent. The appointment was for 2.35AM in the morning. Though not clear on the copy I was given, the journey plan is clear.  I asked the recipient if I could post this and was given consent.  I have amended the document to remove identifying information to maintain as best as possible confidentiality.

On seeking advice. The Citizen Advice Bureau called to query a) the time of the appointment b) why the person had been sent this as they were exempt from the process of Incapacity Benefit review as they were in receipt of Higher Rate Care of Disability Living Allowance (DLA).

Medical Services apologised that the time was an "error" and for sending the letter given the exemption.

You should note that if are in receipt of Higher Rate Care DLA you may fall within the scope of the legal exemption - click here for details.  If you cannot get out to make an appointment like this, insist Medical Services see you at home.

However BEFORE you do anything or panic get advice from your local HIV Service Provider, Social Services Department or the Citizen's Advice Bureau.
