Two likely causes;
- they are not qualified to examine an x-ray
- It is not relevant if you have provided letters about the issue, e.g. if your doctor writes that you have a broken leg then there should be no need to confirm this with a x-ray showing the break.

Is this accurate?
I was intending to phone DWP tomorrow to make them aware of this and was also going to send all of my additional information to DWP in case the assessor does not send them to DWP.
Thank you.

I was recently successful at esa tribunal after scoring no points at assessment. I provided tribunal with copies of xrays of severly broken ankle. My ankle anf foot had to be fully reconstructed with metal, I think the panel seeing the xrays made a huge difference as up to then the injury was being dismissed as a common break.

Hi all,
I received a payment in my bank today from ESA for £126. I am not due my normal payment ( assessment rate) until next week.
Contacted DWP and they said it is an arrears payment?
Asked what this means but she said she didn't know as there is nothing on the system apart from a note saying it went to decision maker on the 9th ((Wednesday).
Anyone any ideas as what this payment could possibly be?
Thank you

Just to add to earlier post, my assessment stage started on 12/06/15 if that helps, so was due to end last week if I have worked it out correctly.
Thank you
