Received my Med Report was created by Marie22
I was recently transferred from IB to WRAG (without a medical) I felt I should be in Support, phoned asked for appeal & Med report. A woman from Incapacity phoned & said I was still in WRAG I asked for the report again. When I read it it had been written up by a nurse who says although I have arthritis of lower & upper limbs I can mobilise 50mtrs can sit/stand can lift my arm etc etc. |t also states it is unlikely I will return to work in the long term. So I don't know how I got my 15 plus points. It completely ignores my diagnose of fibromyalgia, chronic migraine & severe psoriasis of which I sent in 12 recent photos showing how bad my skin is. I've already sent my appeal form in as I was keen not to miss the deadline but surely these conditions & more importantly the effect they have on me eg incessant fatigue should have been taken into account ? I know, having spoken to staff at DWP how difficult the support group is, but I guess I'm just looking for a little reassurance that I've done the right thing by appealling. I'm on DLA HC & HM so really worried they will pull that just for appealling their decision. Sorry, this is just so worrying.

Unfortunately, your condition(s), in themselves are not taken into account with regard to the ESA tests.

To be placed in the Support Group you will need to show that you meet one or more of the associated criteria, see

Qualifying for the Support Group

You also need to aware of the following

Is there any risk to challenging a decision?
