Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
You will have to forgive me but I am a little confused by some of the details of your post
You should have one month to submit an appeal from the date that you receive the Mandatory Reconsideration Notice.
I'm not sure I understand why the JC+ have sent you on a course if you were found Fit for Work, have you in actual fact been placed in the WRAG?
Have a look at our ESA MR and Appeal guide, it has details of the form you will need to complete in order to lodge an appeal with the Tribunal Service.
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa
Once the appeal has been lodged you should be entitled to the ESA Assessment rate until your appeal is heard.
To qualify for ESA you need to meet the ESA criteria which are explained in detail in our ESA Claim guides, also on the above link. Whilst you can be assessed for ESA without an ESA50 it is unusual for a Decision to be made without one or any other evidence in support of your claim. A Tribunal will look at all the facts from scratch so you now have an opportunity to present you case in detail, the guides explain how to do this and there are templates in the same area that you can use to simplify the process.
If the assessment process is having the negative effects on your health that you have reported in your post, then I would urge you to see your GP, they should be able to provide you with the support that you need at this undoubtedly stressful moment.
If you have further questions, please reply to this post and we will do our best to help you.
