possible ESA success?

Apologies if this appears again, as I've sent it but it isn't appearing. One simple question - does this mean a decision has been made, and if so what? ATOS B'ham office have just rung me to inform me that they'll be writing to my benefits office, and for me to wait for a letter from them. I asked if that meant I didn't have to go for a f/f with them to be interviewed and I was told definitely no. Advice please. Too scared to hope for a positive support group decision. I have secondary progressive MS and needless to sent loads of medical info from my consultant.

Hi c,

If ATOS have returned your ESA file to The DWP without the need for a face to face assessment, then you will either be placed into The WRAG or The SG.

As bro says, you cannot be found 'fit for work' without a face2face assessment, so I think you can be cautiously optimistic

thank you so much for your speedy reply, much appreciated
