Hi just wanted toask about ESA assessment. Doctor did not turn up for my assessment 2 years ago, then I had a phone calling asking if they could attend in a couple of days, I wasn't asked to fill in any forms. Upon receiving the report back discovered doctor had filled in the assessment form they usually send out and had ticked all the wrong boxes. One saying I could walk 200 metres when I would have said 20 to 50, as on my PIP form . Other boxes were ticked wrongly too. Surely i should have filled in the form as it asks what i think I can do? thanks

If this happened two years ago then I am afraid it is far too late to do anything about it.

There is no requirement for a claimant to be sent an ESA50, although the vast majority should receive one and you are entitled to submit one if you are notified of an assessment and are capable of completing one.

Forgive me but is this a recent assessment or was it done two years ago.

Have you actually been asked to attend at your JC+?

I just don't understand how she could tick the boxes without asking me any of the questions. Surely i should have been asked to fill in the form they usually send. thanks

There is no requirement for an ESA50 to be sent to the claimant but you can certainly argue that any report written without one is weakened, possibly significantly. You will have to wait until a Decision is made before you can take any further action.
