ESA85A Received

ESA85A Received was created by Jasmine3234
I recently migrated from IB to ESA IR Support group, (without a medical)
I requested the paperwork from DWP as the person who told me over the phone said this was for six months only before review.(I have had the official letter, but it didnt state timelines)
I was quite shocked that the reams of information I gave was put onto a one page ESA85a and basically amounted to one sentence.
I feel I qualified for more than one support group descriptors, so is it normal that they only state one?
Also, I also disagree with the statement that a "return to work could be considered within 6 months"
Do these people not read all the information you give?

Any advice? Thank you.

Hi J3234,

Unfortunately, it does seem the norm that once the claimant reaches Support Group or WRAG qualification, the HCP stops assessing.

Another common one is "the claimant qualifies under at least one of the WRAG/SG descriptors" etc, etc.

If you are not happy with the quality of the ESA85A Medical Report, you could complain to ATOS, see :

Cheers

Thanks Bro. That is exactly what I was wondering.

The report seems to make out there is only one problem, when actually there are several.

I am not complaining, seeing as I have had a better result than a lot of people on here :huh:
It just seems so unfair that we spend days and days on these forms and then you get a one sentence reason.

Hi J3234,

They do like being "Vague" in these Med Reports.

If the medical conditions that cause your qualifying limitations are long term and progressive, you could query this short SG "prognosis".

Well, I was so relieved to get into the SG without a medical I wondered whether it was worth rocking the boat, so to speak..........

Yes, I can fully understand that, Jasmine!

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
