Dla Medical, Now ESA Medical ????? was created by Bigboy221166
Hi all

Sorry if posted before but here's my first post.

I had my DLA medical yesterday.

already on lr care but appealed.

Filled out ESA form about 2 weeks ago and been in touch with jobcentre plus and been told i have to have a medical for ESA....

Rang atos and told them i had medical yesterday for DLA and was told i have to have a separate medical as its a different benefit, is this right?????

i dont understand why one doctor cant talk to another doctor.

please help as am so angry and getting et up and anxious.

:angry: :angry:

Unfortunately what you were told is correct.

ESA and DLA are different benefits and are assessed using different criteria, the former is a test of your ability to work and the latter, your care and mobility needs.

So I'm afraid you need to attend this second medical if you want to progress your ESA claim.
