ESA Medical But They Say I Need to See a Doctor

I went all the way travelling a long distance to my ESA medical with my carer and when I got to the medical centre was told because I have a physical disability as well as mental disability I need to see a doctor not a nurse, is this normal? surely they should of known this before I went there..

I keep ringing to check if they have re-arranged a appointment for me but for the last few weeks they are saying they haven't got one yet.. how long does this take can it take weeks or months?

    I had to see a dr instead of a nurse last year because once I suffered from sciatica and she wasnt trained in nervous conditions. Took about 2 months to rearrange
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
  • My housemate had to see a doctor because he has aspergers, that took a further two months to arrange but he managed to get into the WRAG group.
