ESA, WRAG, and wait -- MORE medicals?
VisibleKinda
Posts: 1 Newbie
So I just won my tribunal for ESA, and I'm thrilled. I am so eager to get back into work again and I'm happy that I can give myself time to work towards being healthy enough to hold a full time job.
BUT.
I've read posts on the internet where people have won their Tribunals, only to find out that they have to attend another medical? Also, it's to my knowledge that even if I'm not given another medical right away, I may have to attend one in a few months?
This can't be true. It's not that I MIND going to medicals, it's just that it's these very medicals, the ATOS ones, that are responsible for me getting zero points and having to go to the tribunal in the FIRST place. So if I go to a second medical, the likelihood is that the same thing will happen again, considering that nearly everyone fails the ATOS medicals.
So now I have to worry about going through the entire process AGAIN?

You will have your claim reviewed again at some point. This could be anything from a few months away to a few years. If you need an estimate as to when this will be you will need to ask the JCP.Gone ... or have I?0
