Just joined and looking to appeal

OK I have a bit more info now as I have the letter back from them, ill try to shorten is Basically says.

You have been on ESA for 10 months, we can see from your recent letter that you have a lot of health issues and we may have misjudged or overlooked them.

Before our decision makers can address your case we need to clarify if you are disagreeing with the decision made or complaining about the medical you attended.

Please complete GL24 enclosed (they did not enclose it!!???) if you wish to appeal against the decision or alternatively , you can write in requesting a reconsideration of the decision to place you in the work activity group, it unclear from your letters what is being requested.


Right, do I fill the form in, will have to get one or download, or do I just write in?

I would obviously like an oral appeal, would I not?

Have you ever seen this after 10 months on esa, not I have given you the full info what do I do please?

Big help needed I do not want to get this wrong, please


Kind regards

Mike

Hi Mike

I agree with Gordon, you need face-to-face advise from CAB or similar. It is essential that an advisor can see the letters you wrote and received.

After the one month time limit for appealing has elapsed, you can apply in writing for a decision to be superseded, which means it can be changed but not backdated. I was unaware that the GL/24 form can be used for this, but decision makers can treat a request for a revision as a request for a supersession, and will probably do this.

Please try to get a welfare advisor to handle your case and let us know how you get on.

Best of luck

Ok thank you, what is the difference between the cab and a welfare advisor? how do I find a welfare adv?

Ok I am glad you are confused,

Yes I feel I should have been in the support group, where do I find out what I have to meet? with the download?

Kind regards

Ok I have been looking at the forms, and downloaded.. what I dont understand is if someone is in constant pain, standing, sitting, walking and other and on constant medication for this and mental issues, why they are not in the support group?

is limited capability for work-related activity assessment a test, or just something they look at?

So I understand is if you pass this you are in the support group?

Thank you
