New UC / Former ESA WRAG claim query
7 years 2 months ago #208822 by Gordon
Poor training and failure to understand the new system.
They should not need a Fit Note as their existing claim should have been migrated to UC, however, it might be easier in the short term if they provide one.
However, I would still challenge the requirement of them to provide one as there is a danger that they will initiate a reassessment of their "ESA". award, which seems to be a common problem on transfer.

Many thanks.
