Our son can't go anywhere on his own, they won't except that even with paper reports to support that .They said he get on a bus on his own! which he can't. He has no friends, or social live unless we take him somewhere. Any advise welcome plz

Where are you in the process? You say you are appealing bit have you completed the Mandatory Reconsideration.

To be placed in the Support Group your son will need to meet one or more of the SG Descriptors, which one(s) are you aiming for? There's a list in our ESA Claim guides on the following link.

Hi yes, I had to send the mandatory paperwork to the tribunal panel. Because they refused to change the decision . Waiting for a court date now.

Google 'regulation 29 and 35.'
If I remember right your son's GP needs to write that 'there is a substantial risk to his mental health' by being put in the WRAG.
I think the GP needs to write this quite explicitly, like it's a secret password.
