FI ESA MANDATORY 06/16 letter

Options
Hello all, I am in the ESA WRAG and I am in the esa assessment phase, have my face to face on Tuesday. However today I received a letter named FI ESA MANDATORY 06/16 saying - "Helping you prepare for work in the future. You must come and meet your work coach."

Does this mean I have been found fit for work?

I am really at the end of my tether with this. Getting a face to face miles away from me, when there is an assessment centre in the next village. Got in touch with HSAS through email and was transferred to their Scottish office, since then no contact. The assessment is on Tuesday, really too late now to change.

If they are trying to make me suicidal, it's working.

    It doesn't mean you have been found fit to work. In the WRAG you are supposed to have meetings with your work coach to get you ready for work.

    You can't be in the assessment phase if already in a group, is this a reassessment on Tuesday?

    Sorry, yes it is reassessment. I am in a state of paranoia and panic with anything regarding this. I looked at previous letters for FI ESA and they were for my usual phone appointment with my adviser. Just the change in wording and the timing of the letter and my current mental state has got me distressed.
