ESA medical......for second time!

Hello....I first applied for ESA back in Nov/Dec 2009 after stopping work after being diagnosed with a hereditary genetic condition called Spino Cerebella Ataxia.
After being given only 6 points at the 'medical'.......I appealed and after 10 months had a tribunal hearing which I won after 10 minutes and they awarded me 24 points.
That was back in Sept 2010 and I have had little or no contact with the DWP or ATOS.
My entitlement to the financial payments stopped back in April 2012.
I've had an appeal lodged for 16 months now and have had my MP on the case as well as my Ataxia UK advocate.....with the run around or couldn't care less attitude being given by the DWP.
I have now received an appointment for another 'medical' at the end of this month.
I am fearful of not getting enough points and the DWP saying that I am fit for work despite sending them copies of consultants letters to them saying I am NOT fir for work and will never be.....a total waste of public money I think!
Can anyone shed some light on the situation?
My condition is PROGRESSIVE.

Hi Simon,

The whole ethos of the benefit reforms is that everyone will be subject to routine reassessments, no matter what their condition. The frequency of these for ESA can vary from 3 months to 3 years. These reassessments might or might not include a face-to-face interview. The more information and evidence you send in with the ESA50, the better your chance of not being called in for such a face-to-face assessment. However, this does seem to be down to the 'luck of the draw' as much as anything.

If you were to be deemed 'fit for work' again then you would be able to appeal this decision too. It is possible for claimants to have 2 appeals running at the same time!

Don't forget to make full use of our ESA resources when filling out the ESA50

ESA claims and appeals

My appeal after getting the full amount of ESA (contribution rate) is to go from the WRAG (which I should never have been put in) to the support group.

Hi....I have filled out the ESA50 medical form.....sent it back and attached further documents to state my condition (consultants letters....AGAIN!)
After my tribunal win I should have been sent a year later for a medical to let them know my condition.....they forgot.
I have had no contact with them except a call from the man replying to my MP......a benefits director!
I have a copy of his letter to my MP apologising for their administrative error in my case.
A woman from their complaints dept. rang me 2 months ago to try and sort things.......no joy.
NO contact....they don't seem bothered at all.
