Appeal was created by cde11
Received my DLA appeal letters this morning they are saying that I don't suffer with serve pain only mild pain and they have twisted what was said in my ESA medical I am really worried as how am going to cope in the tribunal as I suffer anxiety and panic attacks, really don't know if it is worth carrying on with it!! I feel they have not looked at my medical reports as the are saying i should have an operation on my back !! surly that is my choice. :-(

You are correct that you are entitled to refuse treatment, further there are very, very limited circumstances where a Decision can be made taking into account the effects of any such treatment.

Have a look at the following Disability Allowance fact sheet, specifically section 6.8 Refusing treatment.

As always, when referring to benefit case law, you should make sure you fully understand the implications of the case(s) in question, before referring to it.
