Hi Sp68,

Are you sure that the appointment is for an ESA face to face "medical" for you, and not an appointment with JC Plus for an interview as your husband claims ESA for you as his partner ?

If it was for an ESA face to face, the appointment letter would be from : The Centre for Health and Disability Assessments (CHDA) (Maximus) who took over the ESA WCA Contract from ATOS on 02/03/15.

Hi, bro58,

Yes it was definitely from The Centre for Health and Disability Assessments.
I, am in receipt of DLA, which was renewed last July until July 2017. Yes my hubby claims for me in his ESA.

Feeling worried, & sick

Hi Sp68,

O.K., if the letter is definitely from Maximus (CHDA), it cannot be anything to do with your DLA !!

CHDA only deal with ESA, ATOS and Capita deal with DLA to PIP transfer assessments !!

As the partner on your husband's joint/couple ESA claim, there are no circumstances where you would have to undergo an ESA face to face assessment. ("medical")

The reason that I asked whether the letter was from your local JC Plus office is that they do sometimes require the partner of an ESA claimant with a joint claim to attend short interviews.

I can only surmise that the letter is meant for your hubby, and they have incorrectly addressed it to you.

Obviously, I am only guessing !!

You need to contact CHDA ASAP tomorrow to try and gain some clarity.

Please return to this topic tomorrow with an update after you have contacted CHDA and we will try to advise further !
