Hi s,

Welcome to Benefits and Work :)

On the assumption that you have completed and returned your ESA50 Questionnaire to ATOS, have you been informed that you will have to attend a face to face assessment ?

This is not necessarily the case, many of our members have been assessed on paper scrutiny alone without the need of a face to face.

With respect to what to expect at an ESA "Medical", this FAQ : ESA Medical – What to expect from our : ESA FAQ’s may help.

Please repost to this topic if you have any further queries.

Hi. I have ME. I strongly advise you to look on the website of Action for ME.
www.actionforme.org.uk/get-informed/welf...-allowance-esa/index
They have helped me through five assessments and two tribunals, both of which I won.
I know that at least some of their information leaflets are free to download and print.
Good luck!
