Hello there. I haven't seen this, but I can understand that if the doctor already knows you, it would be a conflict of interest. It could be that they only received the papers from the DWP a couple of days before the hearing, so it was realised late on that there was a problem. I hope they're going to call you in another time with a different doctor?

Hello again. I'm not sure about some of your points, but from being on the forum, I don't think we have too many rights in all this process. Hopefully, someone will be along soon to comment.

 

There's a sticky by leemack, in the yellow part of the forum front page about attending the 'medical' that you might find helpful. Here's a link.

Unfortunately, there is no right to be seen by someone who has specialist knowledge of your condition. Only a right to be seen by someone trained in the assessment of capability for work as far as is required for ESA. You have no right to see the qualifications of an individual, as this is personal data. But you can look them up on the GMC or NMC to see if they are on the specialist register; that will also tell you what area the specliaise in.

.....And what is your point please, roblynmouth? The time taken to go to appeal depends on where you live. I think most of us know that it isn't quick.
