hi,omg just received my medical report it sounds like they are talking about someone else,i only scored 15 points which is a joke as I suffer osteoarthritis,fibromyalgia,migraine and depression,i was unable to work from 8 years ago,and my medication consist of morphine,naproxen,mirtazapine,nortriptyline,rizatriptan benzoate and propranolol,even though the Nurse accepted I was on high levels of medication she still thinks I should be considered for work in 18 months,i have put in for an appeal even though it was sept 12 I was put in wrag,when I spoke with my gp this morning he said my diagnosis and medication should speak for its self,so I never got a copy of my records,can any one help me as I am at loss as what to do,thanks Gill.

Hi Gillian,

Although appeals are supposed to be submitted within one month of the decision, the absolute limit is 13 months if you can show 'good cause' why you did not appeal earlier.

As the site will soon be closed for new posts, I suggest that you have a good read of our appeal resources and then come back to this thread if you have any further questions.

hi,mrs H,thanks for your reply,i have read the appeal process,the reason I am only just appealing is because I tried to comply with the wrag group but made myself ill,also I forgot to say dwp did,nt even get in touch with my gp for any info about my illnesses,they just went off the esa50,thanks for any advise.

It is not often that the DWP do contact the claimant's GP, that is why it is important that the claimant supplies as much evidence as they can.

This evidence can be from someone who knows you well, maybe someone who helps you during the day, as well as medical professionals.

I didn't send any extra medical evidence with my appeal. what i did send was letters from my husband and 2 friends (who had both spent some time in paid caring roles). I went from WRAG to Support Group on reconsideration - so it does happen :)
