Well the results arrived

Quick update, submitted my appeal the GL24 and although not required at this time sent some extra information with it for the DM to maybe look at, if not can just be used in the appeal.

Got my ESA85 today, all 1 and half sheets of it. Surprised when reading it reminded me of that show Little Britain "the computer says no" but the nurse who did the assessment based on my ESA50 did actually manage to type "58 words" and disagree with a SG descriptor despite providing evidence that I have actually had severe musculo-skeletal problems for over 20 years which my GP backed.

I feel quite honoured to have been assessed a day after the forms where received by a Registered Nurse who is an approved disability analyst.

Split this into two as I know you don't like long posts. As I said got my ESA85 today, have looked up one term but still confused. The advice/prognosis was as follows:

1. Advice: I meet the criteria for WRAG:
2. Prognosis: I advise that work is unlikely in the long term.

Seems odd that I am fit for WRAG, especially as I got a second letter today for my WFI next Wednesday with view into getting me back into work when the prognosis is I am unlikely to work in the long term, again backed by my doctor.

In the ESA85 the "nurse" says I have no severely restricted musculo-skeletal function yet in her "58 word" essay claims I have significant disability to everything apart from my head which I think they are working on.

Last quick question as last time I had to supply anything was still called a sick note. It says the evidence was based on my ESA50, Med 3 and letter from my GP.

Can they write to my doctor and get a Med 3?

The reason I asked is that I have never had a Med 3 or supplied one and from what I gather this is the new "Fit Note" which you get from your doctor? If this is the case then they are claiming I supplied documents which I didn't.
