Face to Face "medical" no ESA50

I will go to the 29th, even if I'm on my knees, and if I do get well enough, I have bronchitis, I will go to my MP, I couldn't have won that tribunal without the help from here, and I give you all me heartfelt thanks. The next hurdle is to get through the assessment on 29th.

Hi R,

Good luck and please let us know how you got on !!

Remember, how you manage the return trip to/from the Assessment Centre will be taken into account as part of the actual assessment.

You may be observed on approaching, leaving and whilst inside the centre.

Assumptions may be made by the assessor with regards to the above.

These assumptions could result in the assessor writing comments/recommendations within the ESA85 medical report which they compile and send to The DWP.

You can read what to expect at the face to face in our ESA Claims Guides

Fingers crossed for you !!!!

bro58 - can you advise me on the issue of backpay, I don't think the call centre woman knew what she was talking about? they paid me appeal rate since June to now.

no, they paid me less than I was paid before they found me fit for work, £76.00 a fortnight to be exact, which affected my mortgage, as that was being paid directly to the mortgage account, this stopped in June when I failed to attend the medical. the call centre operator told me if you fail to attend a "medical" you aren't entitled to anything at all? So I have been overpaid, but they won't claw it back because its their mistake. I'm just confused that's all, I understood at half rate on ESA backpay is due, I never claimed JSA in the interim period. I don't qualify for HB as a "home owner". Bearing in mind I has nothing in writing yet from the DWP.
