DWP ignoring appeal decision?

Jonboy

I am afraid that the GL24 specifically requires the date of the Decision being appealed to be completed and would be rejected if the date was not included, an appeal can only apply to one Decision.

As it would appear you were properly notified of the second Decision I cannot see anyway for you to now challenge it.

To request a re-assessment all you need to do is to write to the DWP and explain that your condition has deteriorated and you want to be re-assessed for the Support Group, send it to the office that last dealt with your ESA claim, the address will be on any letters you have received from them.

If you are saying that your appeal request clearly referenced the second Decision and the hearing heard only details of the first, then you should contact the Tribunal Service about this, however, I think it unlikely that they will act on the matter, factors that will count against you are that you could have corrected the mistake before the hearing, on the day of the hearing or on receiving the Tribunals Decision Letter, but it is probably worth your giving them a call to see what they see.

Many thanks again.

I am afraid that I can't see how this will work, even if you could now request an MR, which you can't as the Decision in question pre-dates the October 2013 date when MRs were introduced, the Decision in question is still more than 13 months ago and outside the time in which a challenge can be made.

You obviously lose nothing by bouncing it back to the DWP, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
