Recieved ESA descision letter few questions

Confuseddot

Hi,

I recieved my outcome letter from my ESA today, only taken since the 2nd of October when they had recieved the atos report, it says I have been placed in the WRAG. I totally wasn't expecting as I scored zero points from the "meeting" I had with atos and apparently as I looked clean and presentable I was fine.

Is there any way to find out why I was placed in wrag and timescales for reassements etc ? Part of me doesn't want to rock the boat but everything seems to contradict each other and I just want to understand whats going on. I was refused DLA as I didn't need help and wasn't ill enough ... then the report from "the meeting" with atos said that I needed help but this should lessen in future.

As an aside why is it so difficult to get information on these topics or is it just because I not well that everything seems hard.

As always any help greatly appreciated. :beer:

You need to obtain the medical report. This can be done by phoning up the DWP and asking.
This both contains the assessment, and your 'prognosis'.
Alternatively, I would recommend getting a full copy of your file, and doing this at least yearly, as they shred old stuff that may be useful to you. (this of course includes the medical report with everything else)

And no, it's not because you're ill.

Understand carefully http://www.tameside.gov.uk/esa/lcwra - and see if you may be eligible for the support group.
If so, consider an appeal.
However, you want the medical report first.

Thanks Roger I do have a copy of the "medical" report and I didn't get any points and it said I should be fit for work in 3 months(report was done in september). I will ask for a copy of my full file.
