PLEASE GET OFF MY THREAD!!
I asked for advice not to know if you can spell or not!0 -
I actually agreed with someone else who had pointed it out first. I had made one mistake the person I was commenting on had made numerous mistakes, there is a difference.
As you claim to have problems I am surprised you felt the need to lower yourself to be critical of me.
I am not the least bit interested in your other illnesses and disabilities and I did not lay into you and I am not looking to amuse myself as far as you are concerned so do not go for the sympathy vote.
Not after the the sympathy vote, strangely I do not care if someone on a forum miles away from me makes any sort of comment concerning me. However I will not just let you make the comment you did without pointing out your mistake.
As to your 'claims' that you do not find it amusing to pick on people's disabilities I might believe you when you are a little more tolerant and sympathetic to other users posts.
edit: sorry ilovecows I did not mean to cause this like i stated I was agreeing with another user about the ESA's truthfulness, I did not expect to get followed by another forum member who wanted to start a arguement. I have reported al the non relavent posts including my own now since Healy made his attack0 -

If you did not care you would not reply. Ok we have both pointed out the mistakes so I think we can leave it there.
I was not aware of your "disabilities" so cannot see how I was picking on you. You say you are not after the sympathy vote but now you want me to tolerant and sympathetic, sorry I do not do hugs.
I have not followed you, I posted on the thread long before you appeared on it, have a check if you do not believe me. Also I am not looking for argument but just pointed out that you make mistakes too after you took the mickey out of my error. I cannot see any reason to report the posts as it was not an attack. Please feel free to report this one too if you feel it upsets your sensitive nature.0 -
I got my result back from my medical today, jsut so happens I had a doctors appointment as well.
They said 0 for everything. MY doctor thought this was highly amusing and also she was sent a letter by them saying do not give this patient any more sicknotes as he does not need them unless his condition becomes worse. It has. I may have felt ready to do something like permitted work something less then 16 hours idealy 8 or so but after the suffering this letter has caused me it is clear I was not really ready for that. My doctor agreed with this and made a point to note down on sick note "severe depression - Worsened"
She has also told me to goto the CAB to appeal for various reasons and she jotted down were she thinks there scorng method is completly wrong and I should have scored something above 0. Also on the basis that in there letter to me they stated thay had asked doctor for a report yet she recieved no request and did not provide them with a report. So they lied. Makes you wonder were else they have lied in this whole "medical descion" or bent the truth to meet certain criteria.
I think I will write to the MP as well some of m actions after recieving my "failed" letter this morning might make for some enlightning reading.
The one thing I am worried about is that they said they sent a letter out 3 days ago as well concerning this and I am unsure how long I have to apeal as the letter I recieved ths morning did not even mention the possibility of apeal
It says they may still be needed if the claimant appeals.0 -
I would be asking your MP to intervene now. Whilst a wait of six months may be acceptable if it was in the Tribunals system, the fact that it has not reached that stage yet is unacceptable.
may sound silly but how do i go about contacting my MP and who is he/she
never done anything like this before0 -
You can search on this website to find out who your MP is and their contact details. They normally have an email address.Gone ... or have I?0

That is up to you really - I would give them until midweek to confirm receipt of your email (if you have not had an auto receipt). I would expect them to have written to the JCP by the end of the week, then you need to wait for the JCP to reply to them. This is likely to happen much more quickly than if it was you writing!
Some MP's offices will take the initiative and call the JCP rather than doing everything by letter. It would be worth asking if they can do this to speed things along.Gone ... or have I?0 -
Hi to all the wise and informed. I have been accused to talking b*****ks in the past. This has never been my intention.
1. Could someone please explain given the earlier comment on this thread, how to go about being paid ESA Assessment rate after submitting an appeal. Been told by ESA to claim JSA as ESA not due. If sucess at appeal they would deal with it then!
2. MP's - wrote to mine mid Jan (over a month ago) had standard reply - nothing since. How long should I wait for a reply?
Thanks0 -
The assessment phase rate should be paid automatically on appeal (Except non-return of ESA50 or failed to attend the medical disallowances).0
