ESA WRAG first meeting was created by Scotboy
So I am on ESA WRAG group much thanks to benefits and work for all the advice. I take potent medication which makes me even worse of a mess in the mornings due to the hangover effects, one of the reasons why even when trying to work several years ago I had occupational health referral not to work early mornings. For this reason my PIP assessment and ESA appeal were scheduled for the afternoons. However I have been asked at very short notice to attend the first WRAG meeting at 9am in a couple of days, I cant see how I will possibly make it at that time given my usual condition, even taking a taxi, or finding someone to accompany at such short notice. I feel like if I manage to go on time it may be suggested as evidence to dismiss my chronic problems, or if I am very late or don't go I will be sanctioned - I was sanctioned by this office for 'non-attendance' of an early morning telephone signing on interview when i called back the same day (while pending appeal after mandatory reconsideration) , however this was overturned when I complained. I plan to call on Monday and ask it to be moved.

Yes, phone them they are required to take into account your limitations, however, the JC+ staff do not have access to any of this information on the computer system so you will need to explain what difficulties you have.

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