ESA85A

I received my copy of the ESA85A today, following my successful re-assessment into the SG group. As I suspected I met the mobilising descriptor as I did last time. One thing I am puzzled about is that the decision was reached using my ESA form and an ESA113 from my GP.
However my GP said she had received no communication from Atos this time around, but the report does mention many of my more recent medical problems such as depression and anxiety, as well as my physical problems. So I am confused but pleased the report has finally materialised.

You can always request a copy of the ESA113, it may have been completed by another GP at the practice, although I would have expected that to be recorded in your records.

I am seeing my GP on Monday so will check again. I never see any GP but my own so I would have thought it unlikely anyone else could have filled in the ESA113 but will definitely check. Thank you for the reply.

Our understanding is that information from a previous assessment is unlikely to be used during the assessment process.
We are aware that it may be used when transferring onto ESA from another benefit, there is no reason why it should not be used for re-assessments, however, based on feedback in the forum, based on requests for documents, it simply does not happen.
