Hi
I was transferred (without Medical) from IB to ESA Contributory Claim January 2012. The paper work I received did NOT specify a renewal time period? I've survived X3 Brain Hemorrhages. Age is 54 years Male
Friday last week, I've received a DWP letter inviting me to voluntary work focused interviews with an adviser.
One of my condition legacies is that I cannot manage stress. Of course you may consider that this letter has projected my levels greatly. Though the letter specifies that I do not have to attend, though I have to inform them. It further indicates that if I don’t attend if at some point in the future following another Work Capability Assessment I am moved out of the Support Group I will be required to attend interviews.
IK have to inform my acceptance or not? If I decline voluntary interviews is there a sinister mechanism to target me more? Should I seek a letter of support from my GP? Please Help me and advise I'm VERY WORRIED

There is nothing sinister going on :) this is a standard letter sent to members of the Support Group, just write back, thanking them for the opportunity but declining the invitation.
