Reconsideration.....

archie0123 wrote: had my work focused interview last Friday morning. Sat down, was asked a few questions about myself (name, address etc and a brief background about my problems). The interviewer proceeded at ask me why I had not appealed to be put into the support group. She said I needed to ring and be asked for 'reconsideration of WRAG classification into Support Group', gave me a telephone number to call etc. She said I needed to get as much as help as possible from my doctor etc, CAB to fill out forms....... She said who ever had made the decision at my appeal had not looked at me and my situation properely and should be in the support group as I am not employable. She said there are in depth notes made at my previous job centre interview around 6 years ago, which state the same.

I rang the ESA number given this morning and was made to feel horrid , the lady that rang me back a little later was a bit kinder. I know have to approach my doctor, counsellor etc for supporting evidence to submit for my application for reconsideration.

Has anyone PLEASE got any pointers to help. I am at the end of a very short tether and I really cant cope with this anymore.
