I have my 2nd ESA - limited cap` for work questionnaire arrive, after 2 yrs. I have rheumatoid arthritis. ( Was dismissed from my job, on incapability, due to ill-health ; July 2011 ). I am 56 yrs. I have had 2 face to face medical assessments, where I have been placed in the ESA - WRAG Group. I have to return it by 10 th Sept. Does one always have to have these face to face medical assessments when in the ESA Group ?
No, not everyone has to undergo a face2face assessment if ATOS feel that they already have enough information, on the ESA50 and any other evidence submitted, to make a decision.
Please be aware that the ESA descriptors changed last year so make sure you take this into account when filling in this ESA50
