Is it worth writing to the Tribunal?

The problem is that the DWP will likely not have even received the Tribunal Decision let alone opened the envelope, within those timescales, in fact, the decision to re-assess your son would have been several weeks in advance of the Tribunal hearing actually being heard.

I know it can be frustrating, but it is important to remember that the Tribunal re-makes the original Decision and is only concerned with the health of the claimant at that time, not the date of the Tribunal, so it is quite likely that in relaity your son has not assessed for best part of a year.

Good luck with the new assessment, the Tribunal Decision may help with this review, if you can also show that his condition has not changed or has indeed worsend since the previous Decision.

As your son has now been placed in the Support Group, he should now be excused attending WFIs, although the JC+ may want the Decision Notice to be processed by the DWP before ecusing him.

I think with the way things have been going I will just attend the WFI with son and personally hand deliver the ESA50, Tribunal decision medical reports etc - at least then I can say I hand delivered it to "H" the advisor - since they have lost paperwork before:-(

It's not due in till 26.10.12 and our WFI is on the 10.10.12

Sorry to ruin your plan, but the ESA50 and any attached evidence needs to be returned to ATOS not the JC+.
