Hi I had a medical for esa in march last year placed in wrag group and had a review and a second medical in december and was placed in support group. Paperwork says my next review is on october 2011 so even though I am now in support group taht will be 2 reviews and 3 medicals in less just 18 months.

Think it is just to keep you down.....it certainly works unfortunately.

Good luck

Having read this, I am shocked too. I think this is a matter for contacting MPs about.

It could well be just ATOS justifying its existence and raking in the cash by repeatedly calling people for medicals, when there is no medical justification. This is a phenomenal waste of tax money and inhumane treatment.

Under the old PCA test you would be given a review date in one to five years time.At least then you could get on with coping with your illness and try and improve things. This will just make people worse, always afraid and worrying when the next test is.

I thought the Support Group was Unconditional support and permanent?
