Want to appeal WRAG but given no points

Hi
I am in receipt of DLA HC & HM indfinitely, I realise DLA & ESA are different but would expect there to be some relevance. I have been in IB & recently returned my ESA form. Within 3 weeks I received a letter saying I had been put into WRAG (no medical) I phoned stating I wanted to appeal for Support group & could they send me copy of the decision. I received the appeal form but no other paperwork. I phoned again today requesting it & the man I spoke to said that it was virtually impossible to get into the support group & only those born with a severe disability or terminally ill were being accepted, I said I still want a copy on how I was judged. Later a woman phoned me & said because I had no medical there were no points, the decision was made purely on application form & that I wouldn't need a recall for 2yrs. (I am on CB WRAG so will lose money after 1yr)Now I'm not sure what to say about my grounds for appealling - is " I don't agree with the decision enough " ?

Have you read the resourses on this site with regard to appeals?

This is a good place to start -

ESA claims and appeals

In addition to this, there are lots of FAQs relating to the appeal process

Is there any risk in appealing?

How long do I have to appeal?

How to submit an appeal

Please come back to us if you have any queries

In addition, some members have seemed to find difficulty in getting their 'statement of reasons' from DWP. I have requested this twice and been sent the medical report each time!

Hi, I posted a thread (page9) ref ESA CB. I requested a SOR and was infm to put it in writing and to put in an appeal at same time (in case of time limits) Before I did that I decided to seek advice from CAB and like Marie22 was told "you need to be terminally ill or have condition like MS etc. in order to get into support group" Also told I would have to go for medical which, in his words, "I can guarantee you will fail as it is made so difficult, believe me you do not want to go there". When i queried about WFI he infm me "not to worry, your'e speaking to a human being, as opposed to a computer, and they will be more sympathetic. They cannot force you back to work, these interviews are just to assess if yr condition remains the same" He also said "you're one of the lucky ones, its rare to be transferred to ESA with no med". Any thoughts?

I would say that the person you spoke to was 'misinformed'...

ps, you might find This thread hopeful.
