WFI's was created by ROSIE75
I am in the process of appealing at the moment to be moved from the WRAG to the support group. I was wondering if anyone knows how soon you have your first WFI and when subsequent ones are after that, ie: approx every 4 weeks or approx every 6 weeks for example. Also as I am appealing and it could take 5/6 months how many WFI's would I end up having to attend? Thanks.

I hsd an apt for a WFI and am in the midst of doing an appeal to be placed in the Support Group. My carer rang my interviewer for WFI and she said I did not need to attend any WFI's etc whilst I was going through the appeal system. My carer has rung up periodically to say what we are doing and she keeps saying not to worry.
We are also in contact with the DM in regards to our support appeal, explaining why we need extra time to send in paperwork etc. They tell us not to worry and give us extensions. They were made aware that our GP has been ill,our CAB advisor only works 1 day a week, and we have had problems in obtaining my med records. (They went missing -4 files covering 45 years of records including my accident at work records).
Just keep them informed

The regulations state that one is still expected to attend WFIs while awaiting appeal. However, pcm's experience shows that some areas are prepared to waive this. It is worth seeing if they will agree to this in your case. If not, don't forget that you can ask to have them carried out by phone or in your own home.
