Hi ig,

From what you have been told it looks like ATOS have decided that you have provided enough written evidence for them to carry out a paper assessment, therefore negating the need for a face to face assessment. This is known as "Paper Scrutiny", and is quite common.

The positive aspect of this, is that, as you are not being compelled to have a face to face assessment, you cannot be found fit for work. You can only be placed in either The WRAG or Support Group (SG) of ESA.

ATOS will now return your file to the DWP, where the ESA Decision Maker will come to a decision on either WRAG or SG. You should then be notified in writing.

Hopefully, you will gain entry to the SG.

Please let us know how you get on.

this morning the brown dwp envelope arrived in the post
upon opening and reading first page you could have knocked me over with a feather
i have been placed in the support group on contribution based

there is no indication to time frame or reasons why is there any way to find this informtion out ?

i would like to thank the wonderful guides on this site and the amazing advice available on the forums many thanks

Point of clarification
ESA85 Is this if you had face to face medical assessment.??


ESA85A Is this if you had a paper assessment ??

Thanks
