Prognosis 'medium term' definition- bad report

Hi,,

Not sure what to do here.I have been placed in the support group which is great.

But the have put under prognosis "I advise that work could be considered within 18 months"

and

"The available evidence suggests review in the medium term"

To me this a not good,it suggests they can consider me for work before 18 months,,i.e could be 10 months ,could be 5 months ,and to review me in the medium term i.e at around 9 months which is half way through.


I am also really unhappy with the report,only about 50% being accurate and the rest just looks like dam right lie's or assumptions.

Can anyone explain this prognosis to me if I have interpreted it wrong.

And I am wondering if I should challenge this report for having inaccurate findings and assumptions

Thanks

Hi Lisa,

The prognosis does not form part of the ESA decision and you cannot appeal against it. If you try and refute the assessment now you run the risk of this being classed as a MR - and you might not get a favourable decision.

I understand that you might be angry/upset at the inaccuracies but, in your position, I think I would leave well alone.

Hi Mrs Hurtyback,

Do you know what "The available evidence suggests review in the medium term" means?

Also I added the points the assessor awarded by using the descriptors (only 3) which was only 2x6 point and 1x9 point ,, so based on the report I should be in the WRAG which he actually advised in the report, so I'm not sure what's happened there being in support.

Thanks
