 Even if you are eligible, and no matter how well you prepare, there’s never any absolute guarantee that that the correct decision will be made about your entitlement to ESA.
But you are found fit for work and you think the decision is wrong you have an absolute right to appeal.
However, the appeals process can seem complicated and intimidating, especially as by far the best chance of success is if you argue your case in person in front of a tribunal judge and a medical wing member.
Nonetheless, it’s definitely worth appealing because it costs nothing and you have a real chance of getting the decision overturned.
We don’t yet have enough figures to be sure what proportion of ESA claimants will win their appeals, but for incapacity benefit well over 50% of claimants who go to an oral appeal tribunal win their case.
Our highly detailed appeals guide will take you step-by-step through the whole appeals procedure. Including:
 How to complete the GL24 appeal form, no matter why you were turned down.- What to claim whilst you are waiting for your appeal to be heard.
- How to prepare your case, including writing a submission if you decide that you wish to do so.
- How to submit supporting evidence.
- What will happen on the day.
- We even advise you about what to wear, how to travel to the hearing and what to call the panel members.
