I got 0 pts was created by wayne
I`m really messed up atm,Ididnt expect support group but was hoping for WRAG... thers no way I can deal with Jsa ......

Although I`ve scanned the form I`m no shape to reply yet....I have a hospital appt at 12 noon 2 morrow ,I`ve no idea how to approach my consultant,their advice was never sought..

Am I right that I can ask for a reconsideration in writing then appeal after that is turned down, my xmas is a bummer atm

cant believe these guys....

report says I can move more than 200 metres on flat ground

that I stand or sit for more than 1 hour without moving away (so wrong,i usually get up ang go to the hallway or kitchen coz im so stiff sometimes 3 times or more in 15-30 mins

she asked if i knew my way around,i took it as if i knew how to travel ie place to place..i used to but cant now.... she connected my answer with vision :angry:

i dunno what to do next .....

Yes, you can ask for a Reconsideration or you can appeal and the DWP will do a Reconsideration as part of the process.

Our ESA Appeal guides are on the following link

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa

You might want to get face to face advice, see

Where to get advice?

and finally the following should be of interest

How long do I have to appeal?

Hi Wayne

I really feel for you because I am in exactly the same boat. I have just received the same news.

You are not alone, I am really messed up with all this too, and your story sounds very similar to mine.

Gordons above post is excellent advice.

I'm really to sorry to hear of both your problems. And a horrible to time to be told this as well. I wish you luck in your appeals.

I saw my consultant yesterday,He has reffered me to a foot surgeon,I took my ATOS medical results and he wouldnt/didnt comment......He did say he would send a `lovely` letter to my GP,he said that in his opinion I need daily support.

I cant get a gp appt till after xmas ,so I`m gonna try to forget this till then,I have till Jan 16th to appeal

thx to everyone here

I saw my GP 2 day,and nearly refused to give me a sick note as the atos med gave me 0 points,I sense some self-preservation and reputations being challenged.

I explained I needed sick/fit notes up till my appeal date,he told me ,he would need guidance from consultants to give me 1 after 1 months up.

atm,I`m immobile after a fall, its a funny old world.... are sick/fit notes compulsory...or are exceptions availiable
