ESA medical needed

Hi,
After weeks of worry I was re-awarded dla middle care and high mobility yesterday for 2 years.

Great feeling of elation until today when I got phone call saying I need medical for esa now.

Told them I cannot attend because of mobility and mental problems, so they are arranging home visit.

Terrified if I fail medical, does it mean you lose Dla also ? And is this normal procedure ?

Just don't trust ATOS after reading so many negative things about them.

Hi Gray

We have heard reports from members that one benefit can impact a review of another. Whether you would lose your DLA as a result of failing ESA, is not possible to say. You have said you have arranged a home visit for your ESA medical. For further information -
