In the ESA members section is an ESA Appeals document, which explains the appeals process and what you need to do.

Page 7 and 8 include example text that you can use to complete the GL24 Appeals form that the DWP should be sending you.

Steve

Hello Stephen,
I know what you mean about 'being forgotten'. I, too have CFS/ME...what a dire condition it is. I try to keep in touch fairly regularly with my GP practice...who have been fairly supportive....for when I will no doubt have to 'justify' myself to the ATOS bod...again soon.
Keep your chin up. ;)

Update. After many phone calls i have now been told ESA at the assesment rate is NOT paid automatically, It's all changed now.I have now got a Form to fill in for ESA again.. Basically starting a new claim all over again. Oh well here we go again. And had info to tell me my Appeal is not likely to be heard before 1/3/2011.
