work group no medical

Hi

I have been on ib since 2007 after a serious RTA. I filled in my esa50 in November and today received a letter saying i had been placed in the work group.

I have many bone fractures that will never properly heal . And had a serious brain injury in the RTA .

When i filled in the esa5o I enclosed two medical reports from consultants saying i will never be able to return to work due to the head injury and bone problems.

So why not even send me for a medical and put me straight in the work group. Does any one know if its two years or one year you get paid for in the work group.


Thanks

Chris

Hi. I too have been placed in the work group,but appealing. If you have been placed in the contribution-based ESA then you will only be paid for up to 182days, thats what i've been informed. check out Jobseekers Allowance Form (Disagreeing with a Decision)
Hope you're appealing. Good luck

same here been on esa cb for just over 2 years and been put in wrag without a medical, am wondering if they are putting people straight in wrag that will finish being paid for the 2 years when it comes in in april.
i am also appealing i got 42 points last year which i am told is quite a lot but was to late to appeal last year.

Thanks for the replies folks . I will be appealing for the support group i meet at least two of the descriptors.

But what a hassle why do they make you jump through hoops to get what your entitled to .
