Hi,

 

I failed my WCA at ATOS and I am appealing.

 

I saw a doctor at my surgery (not my regular one) yesterday to get a Fit Note as I have now had my ESA re-instated pending the appeal hearing.

 

But, the Fit Note says I'm not fit for work because of the following conditions: Appealing WCA

 

I went back to the doctors this morning as asked if it was correct to put: Appealing WCA as the reason I am unfit, and not Depression which is the real reason I cannot work, but the doctor said that's what they always put on Fit Notes when your appealing a WCA decision, is this right?

 

It is also recorded as Appealing WCA on my medical notes which I have a copy of. My medical notes will be used as evidence in my ESA appealing hearing, as well as my PIP Appeal hearing.

 

I'm concerned that this might negatively effect the outcome of both hearings.

 

I'm I just worrying too much, or is this likely to be a problem?

IMO no that isn't right?

 

Appealing your WCA isn't a medical condition, god only knows what the GP is thinking?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Thanks, that's what I thought. I've left a message for my regular doctor to look at it.

You can also make a complaint to the surgery or practice where the GP made this 'fit note' out.

 

There are guidelines somewhere about filling these 'fit notes' out I think??

OK, thanks. I may just do that.

 

I'll do a search for those guidelines as well.

 

Cheers
