TOPIC: ESA Appeal and new decision

ESA Appeal and new decision 7 months 3 days ago #93380

I wonder if anyone can help.
I was transferred from IB to ESA WRAG in Aug 2011 with a prognosis of 12 months.I made a late appeal to be put into the support group in June this year.The appeal was accepted and a hearing should have been last week, but was adjourned at the last minute for more medical info.
In july this year I was sent a new ESA50 to be reassessed.I have just been informed that I have been moved from WRAG to Support group until Oct 2013.
My question is, if when the tribunal hearing re 2011 award is finally held and if the decision does not go in my favour can that have an affect on the new award of support group status.
Thanks CM

As the re-assessment has resulted in a new Decision it will not be effected by any Tribunal Decision which re-makes the original Decision.

Whilst the Tribunal cannot consider your health as it is now, it can't hurt to make them aware that you have now been moved to the Support Group.

Congratulations on the move.

Thanks Gordon
As I have not been given a new date for tribunal and as I have only received the consent form to allow tribunal to write to my GP today, I will drop tribunal a line just to inform them of new award.
Once again a big thank you to all Mods for their advise.
