They may be trying to arrange an appointment for an ESA medical. If this is the case they will write to you with the details.

Thanks Gordon yes you are right. I spoke to them Mon and they have arranged a medical. I thought I had provided them with enough information and followed the guidelines on here trying not to forget anything re my medical conditions and problems. They still want a medical I really dont understand why. I asked if theyve written to my gp they said yes, I have now asked the gp for a copy, as last time a doctor that had never seen me filled in a form and it didnt resemble my file at all, and i had to appeal.
Im really not coping, and was in tears on the phone. My hubby will come with me, he and all my family think this is just unneccessary with my medical conditions physical and mental health, and my mental health had taken a downturn with all the hassle, that im not coping at all.

Sorry to hear this. I know what it is like. I have gone from IB to ESA without a medical but it did say on the confirmation letter that I may be called in for a medical at any time.

Good luck

Atos said they had written to my gp for a form to be filled in and they had a reply. I contacted gp and asked for a copy. To be honest Im not surprised I have to have a medical assessment, a gp who I have NEVER seen has filled it in, well if you can call it that. Most of my medical conditions he hasnt put on there I and my family are absolutely disgusted and am going to complain. My mental health has taken a downturn as once again after I had been reassured by 2 gp,s I seen that all the information was there and they would fill in the form if the DWP wrote to them. Once again I trusted what I was told only to have someone who doesnt even know me fill in ... not known, not known, and most conditions not put on there.
Upset and annoyed.

Have you any advice what to do when let down by GP? after being assured that everything is on my file then they didnt put my conditions down on the form. My family say its neglegence, and to change gp,s if this is their standard of professionalism.
