ESA Regulation 29

Many thanks for that reassurance. A quick supplemental.

Was there a recent decision in the Courts that, in the case of mental health issues, the DWP does have some responcibility in the obtaining of further medical evidence and that the full rersponsibilty should not fall solely on claimants? What exactly does the decision mean? Does it have any force while it is under appeal?

Preparing our appeal now and will let you know what happens.

Again, thank you.
