Hi Marina,

As far as doctors letters and other evidence goes, you can send these in at any time before the tribunal date. So I wouldn't worry too much about the missed telephone call.

If the DWP lost your form before your medical then that would castvconsiderable doubt on the reliability of the Atos health professionals evidence. Do you know if the doctor or nurse had a copy of your form when they did the medical?

If they have lost the form since your medical, I'm afraid there's probably not a lot you can do about it other than making a complaint under the data protection act because they have not looked after your data properly. The only thing I can suggest is that you try to ensure that the same written evidence that was on your form, or similar, is presented to the tribunal.

If you can get help with preparing a case from an vadvice agency that would obviously be useful too.

Good luck,

Steve

It would be well worth submitting your ESA50 as evidence as this would normally be included in the evidence pack created by the DWP, and of course, because they have lost it, they won't be able to.
