I got 0 pts was created by wayne
I`m really messed up atm,Ididnt expect support group but was hoping for WRAG... thers no way I can deal with Jsa ......

Although I`ve scanned the form I`m no shape to reply yet....I have a hospital appt at 12 noon 2 morrow ,I`ve no idea how to approach my consultant,their advice was never sought..

Am I right that I can ask for a reconsideration in writing then appeal after that is turned down, my xmas is a bummer atm

cant believe these guys....

report says I can move more than 200 metres on flat ground

that I stand or sit for more than 1 hour without moving away (so wrong,i usually get up ang go to the hallway or kitchen coz im so stiff sometimes 3 times or more in 15-30 mins

she asked if i knew my way around,i took it as if i knew how to travel ie place to place..i used to but cant now.... she connected my answer with vision :angry:

i dunno what to do next .....

Yes, you can ask for a Reconsideration or you can appeal and the DWP will do a Reconsideration as part of the process.

Our ESA Appeal guides are on the following link

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa

You might want to get face to face advice, see

Where to get advice?

and finally the following should be of interest

How long do I have to appeal?

Hi Wayne

I really feel for you because I am in exactly the same boat. I have just received the same news.

You are not alone, I am really messed up with all this too, and your story sounds very similar to mine.

Gordons above post is excellent advice.

I saw my GP 2 day,and nearly refused to give me a sick note as the atos med gave me 0 points,I sense some self-preservation and reputations being challenged.

I explained I needed sick/fit notes up till my appeal date,he told me ,he would need guidance from consultants to give me 1 after 1 months up.

atm,I`m immobile after a fall, its a funny old world.... are sick/fit notes compulsory...or are exceptions availiable
