ESA Claims Guides

Basically, you may be required to attend a Face to Face Assessment.

As a result of this, you may be found "Fit for Work", placed in The WRAG, or placed into The SG.

If they feel that they have enough evidence to assess you using paper scrutiny only, then you will not have to attend a F2F, and you can only be placed into The WRAG or SG as a result of paper scrutiny.

Ta Bro.

If you don't need a F2F assessment do they write to you or phone you to tell you which group you've been placed in?

Hi G,

As a decision to award ESA in the WRAG (LCW) or ESA in the Support Group (LCWRA), or indeed a decision to find the claimant “fit for work” carries a right to appeal under s12 of the SSA 1998, see :

www.hmrc.gov.uk/nicmanual/volume_1/ssa_1998.pdf

Decisions which carry a right to appeal under s12 shall be notified to the claimant in writing in accordance with Reg 28 of the Decisions and Appeals Regulations 1999. See :

www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1999/991/regulation/28/made

Therefore, you should be notified "In Writing".

However, as you may be aware some claimant's are not receiving written Decision Notices, but at least you now have the relevant Regs to quote if you don't.
