Hi,
Welcome to Benefits and Work
If your forum name is also your real name, you may wish to change it to maintain some anonymity.
This can be done quite easily by following the instructions on this FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
It is quite common to be placed into The WRAG without a face to face assessment.
If you were formerly in receipt of IB (only) and are therefore now in receipt of CB ESA (only) in The WRAG, the following will apply :
12 Month Limit for ESA(CB)
See also :
Work Focussed Interviews
Work Programme
&
Changes to ESA Sanctions
If you feel that you do qualify for The SG, you have one month to appeal using GL24 Form, which can be downloaded and printed off (you only need to print off the actual form and not all the preceding advisory notes) from the link on this page :
How to submit an appeal
See also :
Is there any risk to challenging a decision?
Do I have to attend WFIs while I appeal?
&
What will I be paid while I appeal?
Also from our : Appeals FAQ’s
You will also find an ESA Appeals Guide on this page : ESA Claims Guides
See also :
Disability Rights UK Factsheet - Appeals and reconsiderations
MOJ Video of ESA Appeals Process and Tribunal
See : Qualifying for the Support Group , from our : ESA FAQ’s
You may wish to seek professional advice, potential sources can be seen here :
Where to get advice?
See also : Sending Documents to the DWP or ATOS
You could also request the ESA85A Medical Report, which should tell you how long your WRAG award should last before reassessment, and may give you some idea why you did not gain entry to The SG.
This can be done by ringing The Benefits Office on you WRAG award letter, but should be backed up with a written request.
You can make this written request formal by using a SAR, which can be dowloaded, filled in and printed off from this link :
www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/request-for-personal-information.rtf
From this page :
www.dwp.gov.uk/privacy-policy/data-protection/
Here is a list of potentially available : ESA Forms
ESA medical – what forms to ask for?
There will definately be an ESA85A and an LT54 Form.
Do not miss your one month deadline to appeal, (If that is what you are to do) if the above documents have not arrived, you can always provide extra evidence as soon as you receive them.
Once you appeal you will receive an automatic reconsideration by a different DWP DM, you should provide any fresh evidence that you may have ASAP, if you wish it to be considered at this stage.
Many members have been successfully placed into The SG at reconsideration, simply by reiterating evidence that they have already provide.
Your DLA Mobility award is totally separate to ESA, therefore it should not be adversely affected.
You may wish to Favourite/Bookmark this page in your internet browser, for future ease of access.
You can then repost here, if you have any further queries.
