But the fit for work decision was based on a false HCP medical report as reported by ATOS in a letter to me,so any decision made by the DWP is based incorrectly,therfore i should be treated as not having any assessment.

I believe you are appealing a Fit for Work Decision so you are only entitled to the ESA Assessment rate.If i had to go for another face to face would'nt that mean they would have to re-instate my benefit rate back to what it was(i.e. not the assessment rate)until the outcome of the possible new face to face assessment? After all it would be the fault of the HCP that i needed to go for another,meaning the first assessment was void because of the number of innacuracies.

If a DWP Decision Maker rules that the report invalidates the original Decision, then you should be placed back on your previous award until a new assessment is carried out and a new Decision on your claim is made. Should this happen then your appeal will be lapsed.
However, it is also possible that the Decision Maker may still decide that with or without this report, that the original Decision still stands, in which your appeal will continue.
Should the latter be the case, then I would strongly recommend you getting face to face advice regarding your appeal.

But the DWP have not confirmed that, and as a consequence have not changed the original Decision they made on your claim.But the fit for work decision was based on a false HCP medical report as reported by ATOS in a letter to me,so any decision made by the DWP is based incorrectly,therfore i should be treated as not having any assessment.
