Hi, my wife failed to attend Work Capability Assessment Medical on 29 January 2013, her ESA was continued to be paid up until last week 6 March 2013. We received a letter saying it was stopped for failing to attend. We informed ATOS prior to the appointment time that she was unable to attend due to being not well enough due to an Acute Onset of sever diarrhea. They said they would inform Jobcentre, Can you please have a look at this letter I have drafted to see if it is suitably worded do initiate an appeal against the decision to stop the benefit. Dear Sir/Madam, I would like you to accept this as notice to appeal against a recent decision for my claim for Employment Support Allowance to be stopped due to Failing to Attend a Work Capability Assessment Medical on 29 January 2013. On this date PRIOR to the appointment commencing, I called Atos healthcare on the correct telephone number and informed them that I was suffering with an acute attack of severe diarrhea. This was informed to Atos Healthcare before the start of my appointment, Atos Healthcare informed me that they would take care of everything, and they would inform the Job Centre. I received your letter on 11 March 2013 advicing the benefit had been stopped. Please accept this as my intention to initiate an appeal regarding this stop as I could not have attended the medical due to the acute attack of severe diarrhea. If I was to have left my house to attend the appointment, I would have soiled myself within the first 5 minutes, and every 5 minutes thereafter. I would have suffered severe embarrassment and loss of a basic human right to dignity, This right to dignity would have been removed by the Jobcentre and by Atos Healthcare had I have attended. I look forward to receiving your reply to my appeal initiation letter. With kindest regards Miss xxxxxxxxxxx
