ESA assessment/ESA50
11 years 2 months ago - 11 years 2 months ago #98882 by John
ESA assessment/ESA50 was created by John
Background: Failed esa assessment(zero points) in july 2012 after sending in the ESA50 in late may/early june 2012.Been on assessment rate since appealing.Had no date yet for the tribunal. Last Saturday morning i get a letter from ATOS with an appointment for an assessment next week 
Thing is the DWP/ATOS has'nt wrote to me about this or sent me an ESA50 which after so long since my last assessment have changed etc,and without me filling in an ESA50 how can they judge that i need to go for an assessment or not without it.Really upset me this,not sure if i have any strength to fight this anymore,making me really ill. How can they send me for this when i've not even had my hearing or filled in an ESA50

If you are appealing a Fit for Work Decision then you should not receive any further ESA50s or be required to attend a face to face assessment until after your Tribunal is held.
You need to contact the DWP to find out what is going on, they may try and push you to call ATOS, but it is the DWP that initiate an assessment not ATOS, make sure you confirm any conversation in writing. It may be worth you requesting that you speak to a Customer Service Manager, which will require a call back.
