Just to add, if they do stop the re-assessment then you need it confirmed in writing.

In terms of an appeal to be placed in the Support Group, whilst you are now outside the normal one month, you can still lodge an appeal providing you provide Good Cause as to why it is late, the DWP, for ESA, are quite lax on allowing these at the moment.

In terms of the current assessment, yes, you need to contact the DWP.

i thought i had posted a reply to this ,anyway i went to my jobclub+ interview yesterday , i was in 30 minutes ,the person who interviewed me was a bit sarcastic ,she did mention that i had appealed i was 5 days late in sending my request in but they had accepted it , my advice to people please read any letters/forms you recieve from them please READ them thoroughly , well she asked me why i wanted to be in the support group i explained to her ,"she said that we all would like to be in that group," my partner was with me but i told him to keep his mouth shut !!!! and not to say anything she could see that i was very stressed and upset and said that she would phone me next time in 3 weeks ,and said make sure you answer . i have been to my doctors today it was very nerve wracking i was a bit afraid to ask her for a report , anyway she said that anyone could see i wasnt fit for work , anyway she is doing me a report to be collected next week i just need to get one from the physcirist ? i will then send both with the my second ESA50 form ,i have just recieved comfirmation to my appeal and what is going to happen ,im not sure now i forgot to ask her if i have to pay and how much can anyone give me a rough estimate , i am happy to pay for any private letters forms etc

Well done for getting through your first WFI.

In regard the GP's report, you should be aware that you have already been found Unfit for Work, so a report that says that you cannot work will be of little value, your GP needs to confirm that that you either meet one or more of the Support Group Descriptors or that you cannot perform Work Related Activity and why.

Have a look at the ESA Claim guides, Qualifying for the Support Group for more information

Thanks gordon , the person that interviewed me told me to get doctors reports and send them in with my esa50 form ,she said it would stand good for me so that is why i went to the doctors today , also i asked if anyone could help me fill this new form in so she said they only can put what i tell them DOH she must have thought i was thick so i go monday afternoon to the jc + for them to help me , gosh Gordon how on earth do they expect folk to get the head round all this and take it in
