Advice needed please re ESA Appeal process
11 years 1 week ago - 11 years 1 week ago #109624 by del
Oh, I am confused again
All my ESA paperwork and general dealings are dealt with at a Jobcentre Office that is in a completely different area to where I attend the Jobcentre Office for Adviser interviews. Would it be the main general Jobcentre or the Jobcentre where my adviser is based that I send SAR to?

I am not sure about this because I do not know if both hold separate information re Adviser appointment outcomes.
It would be the JC+ office, they are responsible for the on-going management of your claim, the DWP office (BDC) is responsible for eligibility, entitlement and assessment.

It does not help that they both use headed paper marked JobCentrePlus
The easiest way to separate them is to think of the DWP as the people who deal with your claim and the JC+ as the people who you speak to about WFIs and Work Related Activity.
JC+ offices are located in most towns, DWP offices service a geographical area and often have a mail drop that is in an entirely different, so my JC+ office is in the next town, but my DWP office is in a town about 40 miles away but I actually contact them through Birmingham which is even further away in the opposite direction.
So your advisor is in a JC+ office, likely in your town or nearby.
