Hi F45,

Yes, you can be placed into The WRAG or The SG on paper scrutiny alone, i.e. without a F2F.

If you were placed into the WRAG, you would have the right to appeal.

ESA WRAG awards do not normally have an adverse affect on an existing DLA Award. Sometimes fit for work decisions do.

Please update us when you receive a decision from The DWP DM, and we will take it from there.

Hi F45,

If you were placed into The WRAG, then yes, you may have to take part in WFI's etc.

However, if you appeal, you should not be forwarded to The Work Programme. :

Do I have to attend WFIs while I appeal?

Work Focused Interviews

The Work Programme

It will all be more relevant when you receive a decision.
