Incapacity Benefit Stopped was created by TRICKY
Hi, could someone offer me advisse on the following.

Have been receiving IB for a few years. Had to attend for a medical with ATOS last sept.

Received a call from DWP in December to say they had decided following medical that I was no longer entitled to receive the benefit. They said to expect the decision in writing following week .

I did not receive it so rang them early this month. Advisor said paperwork would probably be with me in about a week.

Rang again the other day, another advisor said that although was record of my call, the advisor had not requested a copy of the decision/medical report be sent to me. He agreed to put in another request for.

I would like to appeal. The advisor said I dont need the decision letter or the medical report to put in appeal. However I think I do. I'm concerned that i will run out of time to sppeal.
