Is this a new claim for ESA? If it is then it usual for a Work Focussed Interview to be scheduled during the assessment phase, you should contact the advisor to find out whether it is mandatory and whether it can be carried out over the phone?

If it is a reassessment, then the letter implies that you have been placed in the WRAG, again you should contact the advisor to see whether you need to attend, it can be deferred or held over the phone.

If a Decision has been made then have a look at our ESA MR & Appeal guide for information on how to request an MR.

They have not sent a letter confirming any results on my work capability assessment that I am in wrag, I found this online
www.disabilitynewsservice.com/apology-dw...ngerous-esa-letters/

I've been in a support group for 3 years and I don't have to legally attend any interviews because of my condition, do you have any thoughts of the link above?

Yes, claimants in the Support Group have been sent letters wrongly 'suggesting' that they must attend interviews.

However, your situation is complicated because you do not yet know the outcome of your recent reassessment.

You need to find out from DWP whether a decision has been made and check with the JobCentre whether this interview is mandatory. If it is, you risk sanction if you do not attend.
