ESA Appeal, I have been awarded the WRAG at appeal, now have to wait and see whether this will be appealed against. Not support group but thankfully better than last result of 0 points! Do I need to continue sending in fit notes please?



PIP, never heard anything regarding the mandatory reconsideration so rang up to chase (sent in August). Papers had been received but no one processed them. Back in the waiting game with this one.

Addition to ESA WRAG decision, now need to decide whether to take step further to try to get back into support group. This is a dreadful process.

Hi SB07,

You should continue to submit fitnotes until DWP inform you that they have the decision form the tribunal. You can sometimes speed this process up by sending them a copy of your own decision letter.

Are you in receipt of contributory or income-related ESA? I'm afraid I must warn you that contributory ESA can only be paid for 365 days for claimants not in the Support Group.

You say that you are now considering whether to try and get back into the Support group? Can you show that your condition has worsened since the ESA decision you appealed? If so you can ask DWP for a supersession - this is likely to trigger a complete reassessment, including another ESA50 to complete and, possibly, a face2face appointment.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Thank you for the information Mrs Hurtyback.

I will send in my latest fitnote with a copy of the decision letter.
Yes, I am on contributory, I did think it would be 365 days!

My ESA decision was based on the additional information I sent in so not sure it would do much good to reappeal just feel upset they did not give me Reg 35. Going to the interviews definitley aggrevates my anxiety.
