esa/dla assessment was created by fawndog
Hello wonder if you could help me I just found out after being on the phone for over 45 minutes just to get through to dwp that I will receive a medical report form around the 1st of august
I was put into a support group by atos in 2013 with my condition which is motor neurone disease I am amazed that they what to assess me with my condition which as got worse over the last 3 years and which there is no cure
what is the best way to go about this I have got reports from my consultant at the charing cross hospital under the motor neurone disease department and hopefully from my gp do you think they will come and assesse me again which I hope will be a home visit
many thanks peter

I'm afraid all ESA claimants will be regularly assessed irrelevant of their conditions and the likelihood of improvement.
The best place to start is with our ESA Claim guides on the following link.
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa1
You can start completing the ESA50 if you use the electronic version which can be updated on your computer.
Using The PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire
A home assessment will in part depend on how detailed your ESA50 is, but one is more likely if you can include a letter explaining why you cannot attend at Maximus's offices from your GP. You should source this when you get your ESA50 so that it is current to your re-assessment.
If you have more questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
