No, he does not. Does he understand that he can only now appeal on a point of law?0

Yes thank you for that. Yes we know about the point of law our welfare officer is sorting that out. I don;t know what he supposed to do for money! during this time as can not sign on due to having a years sick note from the doctor. he is 63 years old.0

He can sign on, the DWP have ruled that he is fit for work and this overrides the fit note.
Have you looked at the descriptors, does he score 15 points? Did the Welfare Officer help with the appeal?0 -
he scored 9 points and the welfare officer went to the appeal with him.0

I have to wait to see his welfare officer next week. It really is silly as this month he will be going into hospital to have some more of his leg taken off this time upto his hip, so will be out of action for quiet a while.0

If his GP still considers him Unfit for Work and is willing to provide a Fit Note then he can make a new claim for ESA. If it is more than six months since the decision that he appealed, he will be paid at the assessment rate, if it is less then he won't be paid until the six months are up or he passess the medical.0
