Even though you have switched from JSA to ESA you remain in the Work Programme and being on the assessment rate does not preclude you from having to perform Work Related Activity.
I would start by ringing your CWP advisor to make sure that they know that that you have moved to ESA. The appointment letter should make it clear whether your attendance at the meeting is mandatory or not, if it is and your advisor is not prepared to remove the requirement then I would go as long as you are physically able to do so.
Do you have a contact for a JC+ advisor? If you do then you can try them as well.

Thanks for reply.I rang CWP and they told me that if Iam On ESA I dont have to go 100 Percent...
I realise I still have to do WRA. AND TO BE HONEST ITS BEEN 10 WEEKS since my claim for ESA.. And still not heard anything for Phys.Assesment.. They did say, that If i go back on JSA if found fit, I will get referred back....

Most are concluded in 4-5 weeks, but there is no specified timescale so it could be as little as a week or several months.
