re medical coming up

hi jean and Mrs Hurtyback , I've ALREADY had my medical and the reason i wasnt bothered about having my medical recorded was that I didnt want to be hanging around for hours as it seems a lot of people who have medicals recorded seem to be kept waiting hours and then there are problems with the recording. No I would rather get in and out as soon as possible.

hi I've decided to send SAR but where do I send it to the office dealing with my claim?

Hi tb,

Yes, you can send it to The Benefits Office dealing with your claim.

You should also write on the front of the envelope " Data Protection Act 1998" ( Subject Access Request for information)

Put you name and address on the back.

Sending Documents to the DWP or ATOS

Great news tb !!!!!

Did your ESA Medical Report contain the prognosis of your SG award, (expected length before reassessment) ?

Did it also state how you gained entry to The SG ?

In some respects ESA has a stricter qualifying criteria than DLA , e.g. ESA Mobilising includes the use of a manual wheel chair unaided, DLA is purely a walking test.

Therefore, if there where any positive elements in The ESA Med Report that you feel would support your DLA Appeal, then you could cite these positive elements.

Appealing your DLA award should not have any effect on your ESA SG award.
