Hi everyone,

I,m sorry if this info is on the website somewhere but i can,t find it.

Have spent the morning filling out the GL24 after only scoring 6 points in my medical. I have followed the steps from your guide but i cannot find out whether i have to send a doctors note with the appeal form?

Any help would be great.

Yes, in order to receive the basic rate of ESA while awaiting appeal you need to submit 'fit notes' from your doctor. The first one should be dated from the day of the adverse decision.

This might be of interest to you

What will I be paid?
