Appealing ESA the Process

[QuestUK]

Sorry if this question has been asked a million and one times on this forum before. But i posted my gl24 form on Monday to appeal against the esa decision. I am still waiting to hear from the DWP. Im appealing because i thought the examanition if that's what i can call it was poorly conducted by ATOS and i thought what actually happened in the examanition what badly discredited.

Im thinking of going to CAB or welfare for advice. Anyhow, my question to you all what is the process for appealing? Should i be active getting letters from Doctors asking for certain forms any tips you can offer? Im asking you guys i figure i wont get any better advice from anywere else

 

Thank You

the gl24 that you sent in, is then passed to the DM who will do a reconsideration of the evidence and make a decision a; to reinstate esa in either the support or wrag group, or b; will pass to appeals tribunal...did you state on form that whilst waiting for either you wish to claim esa at assessment rate, as they dont as far as i know reinstate unless you ask them....second, in no way is or was this an 'examination' it is simply a series of stupid questions that you get 'marks' for trying to get the magical 15 points in order to get ESA...they won't have performed what you call an examination, and if you appealed using that criteria then chances are the decision will stand...what you need to do is appeal showing how you believe you fit the descriptors that enable you to gain the points necessary...third the wait for appeals can be up to a year in some parts of the country, in others it can be quicker but most people on here are waiting months

hope that helps
