I am afraid we cannot do this this, ignoring the practicality of our seeing the documents, it is inappropriate for us to offer personal advice on the forum.
Why can’t you answer a question about my specific claim?

I still have doubts and still very anxious and the medical is beginning of next month.
I would be happier if someone could check them for me and to see that nothing is obviously detrimental to me. Or is this not possible?

It did cross my mind this might be the case.
May I ask if it is advisable to go to the medical and give the letter to the examiner or sent by second day delivery (I am aware of postal strike but still in time I think as my date is beg of july) in the hope that the decision maker would look at it again and make a favourable decision to call off the medical based on more evidence...my esa113 was very brief and not correct as Dr had not seen me recently?

I would do both and send a copy to the DWP as well.

Thanks Gordon.
Am going to post the letters tomorrow.
Just to make sure:
1, The letter to the DWP should be addressed to the DWP ESA Decision Maker, Is that right?
2, Any need to send a copy to ATOS office that sent me the ESA50 forms initially?
3, Bring a copy of the letters from my friend and the Therapist to the assessment HCP, right?

1. Yes
2. You can if you wish
3. Yes and ask them to read them before proceeding with the assessment, it is covered under section 3.1.2 of WCA Handbook.
