You must be extremely upset, and quite shocked having been on IB for over ten years. I think it is outrageous that you have been kept waiting for the result for so long.
Try to be positive - it is happening to lots of people who go on to win their appeal and it sounds like you have a supportive GP.
You just need to establish a clear picture of which criteria you feel apply to you and follow the guidance on here.
Best wishes

Thankyou for your reply catherine,i have seen the doctor today who said when i get the paperwork from Dwp to go and see him and he will give me a sick note. I asked the doctor if Dwp or Atos had contacted him and he said they had never contacted him about me or any anybody else (suprise,suprise).

Hi M,
As you had a face to face assessment, it would be an ESA85, there may also be an ESA85S add-on to the computer generated ESA85 and there could also be an ESA65, "written statement of reasons".
See info on ESA Forms here :
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/forum?func=vie...mit=6&start=18#72594
If you are going to appeal you have 1 month from the date of the decision that will be on the letter when you receive it.
Do this on form GL24 which can be downloaded from this FAQ :
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/forum?func=vie...id=10&id=70444#70446
You must also gain a Med Cert (sick note/fit note) off your G.P. whilst appealing, it would be advisable to make sure this Med Cert covers you from the date of non award of ESA, to ensure there is no break in your payment of benefit.
It may also be prudent to submit your appeal ASAP after receiving written confirmation of the decision, to avoid the same.
Have a look at the FAQ's on appealing from here :

cheers
