Hi Angel,

Thanks lots for your reply.
I've just written another response, to Gary, which should appear just above this in the thread, explaining why I'm wary of writing to the DWP again. I guess I will have to try to request the ESA information by phone and hope they will provide it.

Wow, so you never received any DLA Mobility, even though ESA acknowledged "inability to mobilise"?! That is crazy and appalling! I'm so sorry to hear of that ridiculous and terrible situation! I'm guessing you submitted your ESA report to PIP, as evidence, so you're now receiving PIP Mobility?

Hi Faith,
You may be interested to know that there is an online form you can use for DWP. Maybe try this since it may arrive at a different department, and be dealt with sooner?
Here is the link;
secure.dwp.gov.uk/personal-information-request/name
(This is the first page of the form.)
I hope this helps.

Hi Faith

When you make a SAR request, an organisation normally has to respond to your request within one month. ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/your-right-...copies-of-your-data/

If you put in a SAR request and not heard anything within one month then you can make a formal complaint to ICO on the above link.

Hi LL26,
Thank you loads for the link to the online form! :) It said I will receive a response from the DWP within a month, so fingers crossed!

Hi Gary,
Huge thanks for the link to the ICO page and for explaining about the one month deadline and option of making a formal complaint!

Yes; I get Enhanced Mobility now.. as a result of these ESA Reports!!
But still chasing up the ‘missed’ six years as I feel I have a legal right.. They keep telling me to go away :-)

BTW did a SARS request earlier this year using their online portal but they ignored me…. Having a DWP week after the Bank Holiday (want my dining room table back!) so will do that again..

Good Luck…. Perseverance is the key xx
