Welcome to Benefits and Work
We would recommend that you use a GL24 Appeal form rather than writing a letter to the DWP. See
How to submit an appeal
How long do I have to appeal?
You need to be aware that there is a risk to challenging a Decision.
Is there any risk to challenging a decision?
You will need to state your reasons for appealing, as you are in the WRAG your payments are not effected so you should have time to request the information used to make the Decision from the DWP.
ESA medical – what forms to ask for?
Our ESA Appeal guide is available on the following link.
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa
You should also be aware of the following information.

Yes, you can lodge an appeal after a Reconsideration has been made.
Whilst the Decision is yours, we always recommend lodging an appeal from the outset, if nothin else it will save you time if the Reconsideration is not successful. An Appeal can be withdrawn at any time, so if you find you cannot pursue it you can simply notify the Tribunal Service, alternatively you can request a Paper Appeal, although the success rate for this over an Oral hearing, is significantly less.
