Had my ESA Tribunal today scheduled for 3.30pm after waiting 28 weeks. Received a telephone call from them at 11.30am to say it had been cancelled due to them needing me to send me a medical records consent letter which I have to fill in. Is this normal practice because surely this should been previously sorted out as I did include a print out from my GP of my health conditions to the DWP on my assessment forms.

Unfortunately, the panel does not receive the claimant's papers until a day or two before the actual hearing so there is no way to pre-empt this situation.
