Subject: APPEALs

It now appears that the joyous tribunal services are linking my ESA and my DLA appeal together to be heard together.
Has this happend to anyone else?
Im rather frightend now as i didnt think they would lump them together with them being differant. They are also using the ESA medical as evidence towards DLA and that medical was rediculous so is compleatly against what ive said.
im not happy! ive been in touch with the Disabled forum but the woman i need is away untill wednesday!

That sounds just plain wrong. The CAB might be able to help you. Give them a ring on Monday.

Hi Kirst,
Can I ask you if you have actually talked to the decision makers at the ESA?
I did when I had been informed that I had only scored 6 points on mine, I went through the report with her on the phone and put her right on the points that the supposed medical assessor had ignored or not reported corrctly, I made it clear that I had taken a witness in with me to the assessment, she advised me to put an appeal in staright away which I did. 2 weeks later they overturned the report and the same woman phoned me back to inform me.
I am having to appeal my DLA at the moment but one point you have brought up about them linking the DLA to the ESA medical report has got me confused, because if that is correct surely that 1 Government department has overturned that report should make a difference to another looking at the same health issue??????
If you haven't phoned them please do because the can reconsider their decisions before it go to Tribunal, saving you a lot of stress and the country a lot of government resources.
good luck and keep us updated xx
