ESA Tribunal Date Its Only Taken Two years

Hi All,

Got my ESA fit for work Tribunal date

Had the brown envelope from the tribunal service hearing is 12/5/14 just over 2 years since my WCA
All of a sudden everything happens at once, what with waiting for MR on losing my HR DLA I still think that somehow the 2 benefits are in each others pockets.
Cant get a rep went again to CAB and bless them I know they try their best but most of them in my area don't seem to know enough about the system I seem to be telling them things and nobody in my area are welfare rights experts, so can a friend go with me ? also can the Mental Health Councillor do a letter of support for me or even sign the letter reg 29 and reg 34 if she would.

Thank you Gordon,

What about reg 29 and 35 can a MH Councillor sign that or does it have to be my GP which you have to book appointment weeks in advance to see her she always booked up and I very rarely see her.

Hi CV,

As Gordon states, if the MH C is going to give a letter of support Re : ESA Reg 29 and/or Reg 35, they would not only have to state that there would be a "Substantial Risk" to your own health or that of another if you are not found to have LCW (WRAG) or LCWRA (SG), they would have to provide details of how and why you would suffer said "Substantial Risk"

See ESA Reg 29. 2. (b) :

ESA Reg 29 for entry to The WRAG (LCW)

PLUS Post 28/01/13 Amendment of :

(3) Paragraph (2)(b) does not apply where the risk could be reduced by a significant amount by—

(a)reasonable adjustments being made in the claimant’s workplace;

or

(b)the claimant taking medication to manage the claimant’s condition where such medication has been prescribed for the claimant by a registered medical practitioner treating the claimant.”.

ESA Reg 35 for entry to The SG (LCWRA)

Thank you very much Gordon, the last time I saw her I mentioned about the regs to her and she said my mental health alone was enough to state these regs so I can but try on Monday when I see her but I take heed of your words.
also my meds have been put up to the limit since my WCA but it is the same condition I had at my WCA for also I did put on my Esa 50 that I was waiting for an appointment with a podiatrist and in October of 2012 I had to have nail surgery on both big toes both sides of the nails and I continue to see podiastrist every 6 weeks to have nails cut as I can't do this myself due to my chronich back pain due to spinal surgery that failed, also they said I have a condition called Plantar Fasillitas and have had to have special insoles made, the HCP didn't even ask about why I needed to see a podiatrist, so can I include details of this as further information to the tribunal.
