Thats terrible have you tried going to CAB about this? They have to issue you with a reason for cutting you off. Didn't they say at the interview why they were doing this?
This is all very worrying.

Hi
CAB could/would not help, I rang and talked to a solicitor after the "chat". The Solicitor said that it would be 5-6 weeks for the Decision Maker to come to a decision. The person that interviewed me at the DWP told me it was not up to him it would now be in the hands of the Decision Maker. They have not sent any paperwork regarding cut off, I was told that they should have given 4 weeks notice, but they havent. I had thought that the Investigator could have reinstated? This all looks like they are trying to save money in one way or another. I have DLA mid and high for an indefinite period that has not been stopped at the moment. The interviewer asked "why do you think we pay you DLA"? I guess that will be cut off next. No phone calls or letters to date.

Hi Callisto
It was the DWP as they sent me a form from their new "Integrity Department" - and here was I thinking Integrity was all about doing things "Properly"
Waht are the Coalition doing thats proper ?

Hi everyone
Just to let you know that since the phone call from the'DWP'nearly two weeks ago, my daughter hasn't received the 'letter'. I suppose there is still time?
However on Friday I received a white envelope containing the new ESA50 03/11 so unfortunately DWP & Atos hadn't forgotten about me as the date on the covering letter was dated exactly 1 year & 1 day from my previous assessment with an Atos HCP, how efficient!

Hope all goes well.
