If you go for an esa medical and they put "A return to work within 3 months is expected" etc. Then you go to tribunal and win. And the tribunal puts "Reassessent within 24 months.
Which one is likely to happen? Thank you for any help.

surely the tribunal over rides the original assessment?0

the 'withing 24' months giude is really irrelevant, as 3 months IS within 24 months.
they can call you for reassessment at any time they choose.0 -
The tribunal has no power whatsoever to determine the length of the award.
It can suggest a length - but this is not at all binding.
The 'prognosis' is set (typically) by the health care professional who examines you at the medical.
The tribunal can decide anything that the original decision-maker who looked at your case can do.
The original DM did not have the power to specify a period of award which could not be reconsidered at any time - so the tribunal can't do this.0
