ESA50 question

ESA50 question was created by Pusscat
As you probably are aware I lost my tribunal the other week.

I am considering my options and currently trying to find out if I can go to a Tier 2 Tribunal. I am awaiting the paperwork from it and have been told that it has been requested to be sent out to me.

If I decided to put in a r-application, can I detail the fact that my illnesses do qualify for immediate entry into the Support Group, as I have health issues which meet some of the descriptors, and have always felt I should never have been called for a medical?

I just want to know how much detail I can include?

Many thanks

You can include whatever evidence and comment you want with your ESA50, so there is no reason why you should not point out that you believe that you meet the Support Group criteria.

Unless you can unequivocally show you meet the Support Group criteria, you cannot assume that you should be excused the ESA medical.

Good luck.

Is there something in the regs that spells out you can say no to a medical if you have as you say "
unequivocally" evidance and would this also be the case for the work group ?

No there isn't! I think you missed the double negative in my original post :)
