esa appeal was created by bb1
hello
I filled in the esa form using the guides and also sent lots of supporting evidence. I was called for a medical and when I saw the doctor there he was very sympathetic and said he could clearly see that I was unwell and would keep it very brief, which he did. He told me ( and my husband was there to confirm this) that I did not have to worry and he shouldn't really say anything to me but that I needed support and to go home and not worry about it. Well, the dreaded envelope duly arrived and I have been placed in a WRAG! I am so stressed by all this. I have read up about appealing and drafted letter asking for copies of the evidence used as they don't say how many points have scored or why I have been placed in a WRAG. I have tried to find someone to represent me at the appeal but the local welfare rights say they are inundated and can't say they would be definitely available so I don't know what to do. Is this all designed to see how far they can push you?

It may seem so but it is not, and being placed in the WRAG is still a result worthy of offering you congratulations :)

Please have a look at the following FAQs if you have not already done so.

Is there any risk to challenging a decision?

How long do I have to appeal?

How to submit an appeal

Qualifying for the Support Group

12 Month Limit for ESA(CB)

Do I have to attend WFIs while I appeal?
