Anyone had HELP from MP ?

When I was transferred from indefinite IB to ESA it was nightmare for 9 months. I was put in WRAG without a ftf even though I qualified for Support group on first descriptor alone. The DWP were ignoring all supporting evidence or completely ignoring me and as I cannot use the phone I was getting suicidal I emailed my MP, Tory, and explained the situation and he put one of his case workers on it. She phoned the dwp for me many many times and contacted me by email.weekly. A week after she first got involved The DWP finally wrote to me. Long story short I still had to appeal but I do believe her help got things moving each time everything ground to a halt.
Good luck

Thank You for reply about when to contact MP and I won't write to her yet.

Having read your previous reply I thought my best hope of any help from the MP would be to ask her if the DWP can reconsider the decision before the appeal as it is having a serious effect on my mental health.

Now less confident about this working.

Hi Linda

Thank You for taking the trouble to write. The information is very useful.
I will bare in mind what you said in order to ensure if there are further delays and think I
understand a bit more how I can get the use of my MP

Thankyou Gordon

Yes actually I was already seriously ill with Bipolar and all the illnesses when the initial application went in. The other illnesses are listed as Chronic so will not get better like Heart Disease and have medical proof.Am glad you have said not to put to much hope in them overturning the decision pre appeal as I won't get my hopes up to much then.

Am pleased you replied and mentioned it is usually done on the MR, though I understand that is quite rare. I am able to prove quite easily the effects on my daily living, just that they do not want to listen as then they will have to pay me what I am entitled to.

The best hope you have given me is about the medical evidence. Someone from the mental health team is going through the whole form to deal with the daily effect on my life. So far only I have done that and they have just ignored it. But now it will deal with the entire form from a mental health perspective. Have always been on High for looking after myself as the bipolar effects my daily living drastically.

Sound like this is my only chance of a quick conclusion.
