Hi i,
1. DWP refer you to ATOS who carry out all medical aspects of The ESA WCA.
2. ATOS send out the ESA50 to claimant.
3. Claimant returns ESA50 to ATOS within the deadline given.
4. ATOS compile a medical report (ESA85 or ESA85A) containing recommendations on which group WRAG/SG (if any) that the claimant should be placed into, and the recommended length of the award before reassessment (the prognosis) with or without the need for a F2F assessment. (NB Claimant cannot be found fit for work unless they have had a F2F first)
5. ATOS return claimant's file to DWP ESA DM.
6. DWP ESA DM (Who is not medically qualified) makes the actual decision taking into account ATOS Med Report (recommendations) ESA50 and all other evidence that they have access to.
7. DWP DM informs claimant in the form of a written decision notice letter as to their decision.
