O.K. col,

Did you keep a copy of the Med 3 cert?, and why didn't you send the print out and comments of your entry in to the support group as well?.

I would always advise that copies are kept of everything that is sent to ATOS or the DWP.

cheers

Hi bro 58
yes i have copies of the med 3. iam with a local charity that helps you with the form filling, and they told me to hang on to the print out and that the med 3 would suffice.I don't know if anyone dealing with my claim has seen it.

With information I received yesterday I rang JCP for copy of forms ESA65 and ESA 85.The operator did not have a clue what they were.
She typed a search in their system and found them. She said, "I don't think they will be any good to you" I told her to send them to me.
She then told me "you have to be terminally ill or severely disabled to get into the support group" This is not the first time I have been told this by someone from the JCP. I find most of the JCP people less than helpful mainly due to their lack of training.

Mod edit: Please do not start new threads with the same subject heading because it causes confusion for both members and moderators.

Hi col,

I'm afraid it is very difficult for me to comment further, as obviously I don't have access to the actual documents that you mention.

I just don't understand why anyone would advise you not to send a printout that goes into details regarding your conditions, and supports your entry into the support group, to ATOS/DWP.

Unless they felt that there was content in this print out that was also unsupportive of your claim, as I have said it is hard for me to advise further.

cheers

Hi col,

If you have any doubts that the advice that you have received from the charity that you mention, is not entirely correct, have you thought of gaining face to face advice from a qualified Welfare Rights Advisor, at the CAB or other advice agency?.

Is the person advising you trained in Welfare Rights, or just simply helping you to fill the form in?.

Hope this helps.
