"Tell them you want to but can't. Not won't, couldn't, might, should, maybe, but can't. These are subtle things and some spotty DWP numpty knows nothing as he's more interested in getting his teeth whitened."

The bit in bold or the entire sentence? Both bits are very clear to me.

Regardless of whether that's true or not ? Do you condone dishonesty or are you just trolling?

Does anyone know if this means you have to have both higher rate care and mobility DLA component or just one or the other?

Can I ask why you don't want to go, is it that you can't which would be perfectly reasonable, but what is wrong with going if you can.

You need to have the high rate care component of DLA.

What's true or not? I wasn't talking about dishonesty. My reply was quite honest and legitimate as is the OP's enquiry.

i recived a pm from a member on here stating

"I work in a JC booking ESA appts & there has been some new guidance which came in to play from 15/12/08 - basically, if you are receiving high rate DLA for mobility & care, you are actually 'exempt' from the Pathways process"

dose anyone know if this is true as i get high rate moblity and care and was still asked to attend the interviews. i told the person at the interview i was getting high rate dla aswell. yet she still booked me onto another iterview

It is not in writing as far as i know(can you show me otherwise)

I never said that Jox was exempt from the WCA (Work Capability Assessment) process.... I said he was exempt from PATHWAYS.... completely different thing!

Jox... If you are receiving high rate CARE component of DLA, I am pretty much certain that you will fall into the 'support group' - please, please,please ring up the JC & tell them (don't ask them) that you want your WFI 'deferring' until your WCA outcome has been determined. They may say they can't do this but they CAN............. please don't just not show up or else it can mean a reduction in your benefit (depending on your health condition)...

Don't take 'no' for an answer - the JC do not currently have targets for when they need to see ESA customers by so they ARE able to defer it for you...

Please ring in the morning first thing.......
