Can you give us a brief overview of your issue mikee, did you attend your assessment and get refused an award? When was this?

Please be careful posting all that information online. Though you have blanked out your name, anyone that knows you could link so much detail together and identify you.

(Looking at your notes they don't tell us anything, are they diagnoses or just your own thoughts on what could be wrong?)

I'm out of the Reconsideration window anyway

I am reading what you posted, but just wanted to say, you are not outside the reconsideration window. You can submit a late request for a Mandatory Reconsideration and it will be looked at and you can then appeal... (I said above you would not be paid on appeal..I have not re-read the entire thread which would confirm why I said that).

If you want to reconsider then you can either phone and request it by phone...you don't have to say anything other that "I want a mandatory reconsideration, I have nothing further to say"
They are not allowed to say:
"You can't you are too late"
"put it in writing"
"phone back when you have some reasons why you think it was wrong"

or you could choose to put it in writing and have it scanned by job centre appointment.


If you want to make a new claim you should ask for the medical report, any condition that was discussed at the medical would have to be worse. Any new condition that was not discussed at the medical would be ok.

Just a point, does it have to be a 'new' condition. Could it be a new diagnosis of an old condition previously undiagnosed? Or could it be a condition that was in existence at the time of the claim and the assessment, but was not mentioned on the ESA50 and was not mentioned during the assessment.?
That bit has always confused me as many don't always explain the effects of all of their conditions on the ESA50, some in fact keep something back in the hope that it can be treated as a 'new' condition later.

It can be an old condition, as long as it was not considered and mentioned within the DWP medical report. Or any previous DWP medical report.

It may be something that was mentioned on a med3 but not mentioned in the medical report....it is my understanding that it would still qualify as a new condition....I will try to confirm this tomorrow night. But it may also be a case of different decision makers applying the criteria differently..
