What would you be asking a MR for? It's not as if you turned up for the WCA and was failed with 0 points, or put in the WRAG when you think it should be support group.
The act of deciding to close the claim due to non-attendance at the WCA is one which carries a right of appeal.
Certainly - one reason for missing the WCA is wilfully not turning up.
However - there are many more - from problems with post meaning you didn't get the letter on.
In addition - there are circumstances where the decisionmaker will have adequate information to decide if someone is in the work-related or support groups on the information already available to them.
While it is not a good idea not to turn up at the medical - it also should not simply be a case of 'did not turn up' -> 'no benefit' - without further checking of the file.0
