Dear Benefits & Work. I've been called to a face2face. On my forms supported by evidence from GP & Psychiatrist to say I've made serious suicide attempts. Is it reasonable for CAPITA to call me in? Thanks

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?



Although you have included information about your previous attempts has this been linked to your attending an assessment? If not then this is undoubtedly why you have been invited to a face to face.

You need your GPP and Psychiatrist to write an unambiguous letter that your being asked to attend an interview poses an unreasonable danger to your mental health, they also need to offer to provide any additional information that Capita might require in order to carry out a Paper Based Review.

Thank You Gordon. My GP said he had put this on the form. They didn't request any report from my psychiatrist. I will contact them both again. Do they need to write to DWP or CAPITA direct. please?I'm terribly distressed by the whole process, as are all of us & it's contributing badly to my mental state. I've taken your advice about changing my name on the Forum. Thank You for pointing that out

They need to write to Capita, they are the ones that make the decision about an assessment. emphasise to both that their statements must be absolute, anything like "could" or "may" in their letter will undermine it.

Thanks Gordon, does the letter need to go to Capita in Darlington or the assessment centre please? How do they process things so they catch up with your original claim documents?

Send them to the assessment centre where the appointment is. At the moment this is about getting you out of having to attend an assessment.

The new letters will be added to your file.
