ESA50

Hi, I have been in the WRAG for a couple of years and on the 02/03/12 appealed to be put in the support group. DWP said NO and my appeal was sent to First Tier Tribunal which accepted appeal on 25/08/12. Since receiving the Decision Notice I have heard nothing from DWP/Jobcentre Plus or HMC & Tribunals and then this morning received an ESA50 from Atos. Is this normal? I am quite hopeful of the way things have been going so far after reading posts on here and following your guides with my appeal and I also got my MP involved but I am starting to wonder what is going to happen.

Hi ESA,

They can issue another ESA50 whilst you are awaiting an appeal to get into the SG.

See this similar query from yesterday :

Thanks bro58

Hi ESA,

As bro says, it is not unusual for people to start the assessment process all over again while still awaiting appeal

Hi Gordon, I don't even know if there is going to be a hearing, having had nothing other than the decision notice telling me they accept my appeal and asking the Secretary of State to supply a full submission of evidence including my previous ESA50's, which I have a copy of on my pc so will just reprint and send to them. It could be that its just re-assessment time
