ESA medical cancelled

I am currently in the support group ESA, l was due to attend a medical tomorrow but l got a phone call from ATOS today saying l do not need to attend as they have found further details on file. They said that l will hear from DWP in 2/3 weeks. Has anyone else experienced anything similar and do you think this means l will remain in the support group
Thanks in advance

Hi w,

Obviously there are no guarantees, but it sounds promising.

Many, many ESA claimants have their F2F assessments cancelled at the last minute, or even after they have arrived at the centre.

This is generally down to double/triple booking of appointments or staff shortages.

Under this scenario, a fresh appointment is made.

It looks like ATOS have now decided that they have enough paper evidence to make recommendations without the need for a F2F.

As this is the case, you cannot be found fit for work.

Worse case scenario now, is WRAG, hopefully it will be The SG once more.

Please keep us updated.
