Very Stressed. ESA Assessment Without ESA50 Form.

DWP cancelled my assessment a year ago - on the day the appointment was scheduled (they phoned me). I received a few days ago 14 days' notification of an assessment for ESA. At no point have I received a ESA50 form or reminders.

DWP are trying to persuade me to go ahead with the current appointment, but I have read I may be at a distinct disadventage should I do so without a current ESA50. Without the form the decision maker can only consider what the assessor chooses to write down apparently.

I would like to have the form with the DWP before I attend and in any case I need longer to prepare myself due to anxiety.

On what grounds can I reschedule the appointment and have the opportunity to fill in the ESA50 form? Do I have any rights to reschedule and insist they send me the ESA50? I would rather not rely on emailing them an electronic form and turning up with a filled in version. Especially as it would greatly add to my anxiety and I feel I need longer to try to calm down and prepare for the assesment.

Thanks for replying Gordon.

I'm in bits about this and it's really affecting my ability to think straight.

How should I get the form to them? Assuming I cannot rearrange rthe appointment to a point further ahead in time, it would seem there's insufficient time to get a form to them by post and have them process it on their end. If that's the case, do I just take it with me to the appointment and hand it in at reception or directly to the assessor? Could they refuse to take the form into consideration on the day of the appointment?

I don't like this situation about the form at all. I feel I am being set up to fail the assessment.

Another issue is rearranging the appointment. Are they likely to honour such a request? I assume I shouod phone not the DWP but the assessment company?

To put my mind at rest a little, can everyone go to a tribunal in every instance of failing the assessment?

Any relevant input would be really appreciated.

Thanks.
