Also can you advise what can I write in the last section, the best words so that I don't have to go to a face to face?

Hi Lisamaria,
As you have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and agoraphobia you could make a very good case as to why you are completely unable to travel to a face to face and also being too mentally debilitated to participate in it.
You need however supporting evidence. I am not aware that you have a Support Worker. A lot of Mental Health Services use Lived Experience volunteers and maybe if you phoned up local MH services they could allocate you an assistant to write some supporting evidence about the effects of your condition.
Otherwise you could ask for help from a CPN through the GP surgery ( community psychiatric nurse ).
If a CPN is not available the surgery should refer you to a Mental Health Practitioner ( see link below ).

Are you hoping for a telephone medical assessment?

Hi Lisamaria,
I cannot comment as every Council ( Local Authority ) is allowed to make the terms of its Council Tax Reduction scheme.
So you will need to ask them the reason for that £500 difference.
