I am soon to go for my ESA medical.
In the notification I received, Jobcentre Plus enclosed a leaflet, which inter alia, says that claimants are entitled to ask for a copy of the healthcare professional's medical report.
I would like to know whether it would be a good strategy to request this ASAP after the medical rather than wait for the decision letter and a possible appeal, given the latter's time-limits.
Could anyone offer a view please?
If so, how long after the medical should I wait before calling to request?
Also, is this the form that one would ordinarily use to challenge an adverse decision, and would the same form give an indication of when the next review/re-assessment would occur?
If not, which form would that be?
Many thanks
