Esa Confused

ukseanuk

Forgive me but I am not entirely sure what your question is?

The ESA85A is produced when the assessment is made under what is called scrutiny, in other words you were not required to have a face to face as the ATOS assessor believed they had sufficient information to make a recommendation.

The DWP Decision uses the ESA85A and the claimants ESA50 and evidence to make a Decision on their claim.

Limited Capability for Work is the term used in regard to the WRAG.

A prognosis of "unlikely in the longer term" usually results in a re-assessment date of two years for the WRAG.

I'm afraid I cannot comment on the last phrase without more context.

If you are unhappy with the WRAG Decision then you can make an appeal to be placed in the SG, the first stage to this is for you to request a Mandatory Reconsideration. Have a look at our ESA MR and Appeal guide for more details.

Based on what you have posted, I do not think we can state that with certainty.

If ATOS have made an SG recommendation then the ESA85A should also contain, at the very least, details of the SG Descriptors that they believe that you met and a specific statement that you have Limited Capability for Work Related Activity.
