medical supporting evidence

hi, can anyone advize me. unfortunately when i completed my esa form I forgot to enclose all my medical evidence and even though from my illness and what i wrote i should have been placed in the support group but i feel that due to my lack of medical evidence i have been called for a medical, maybe if i had remembered to enclose the med evidence i would have been put direcly in to the support group, never mind. my question is should i now send my evidence to the dept of work & pensions or is it to late or should i just take all my evidence to my medical and explain to examinr or just hand it in to them on the day and not say i forgot to send it with the form. please advize.

PS my medical is in a weeks time

thank you, debbie

Hi D,

To cover all bases, it may be best to send copy to the DWP ESA DM, at the Benefits Office named on your ESA migration letter, you could also send copy to ATOS, at the same address that you sent your ESA50 to, both by recorded delivery.

You could then take a copy to your face to face assessment also.

If your disability is mental illness and the face to face assessment would causde needless distress when you have evidence that may mean they could accept your case without a medical, then send it in and ask for the medical to be temporarily put back to another date while that evidence is considered

s helpful. I havnt got mental health issues but would it still be worth while me sending it to DWP and appolagising for the lateness of medical evidence and asking them to re consider before medical? Also would the medical officer forward my e on to DWP after they have looked at it. Deb

thank you for replying, justlooking for a bit of hope, as i am dreading medical as i failed a medical some 7yrs ago and although it went to appeal and i won the sress of it all made me even more incapacitated.

should i tell them that i am in receipt of DLA at my medical or is it irrelivent to the medical examiner and you didnt mention if medical examiner would pass on my medical evidence to DWP that i bring with me to my medical (just incase i cant manage to get all my evidence photo copied and sent to DWP etc in time)havnt got a copier. Thank you again, what a great sight. debi
