i do understand its just that how can the Decision Maker use it if it had not be requested by the dwp? I will just have to hope that they request one after the medical but if they dont do i/we have grounds to request one if she fails the medical?

Apologies if I a have misunderstood your post, it is the Decision Maker, who works for the DWP, who requests the ESA113 from a GP.

You may be able to ask the Tribunal Service to order that an ESA113 is issued, but obviously this requires an appeal. Other than this, you cannot require the DWP to make the request, they are at liberty to choose what evidence they wish to collect.

I'm afraid so, and just to make it clear, you can request an ESA113 be issued, but the decision to do so would lie with the Tribunal Service, and they may still refuse to do so.
