You need to appeal, when ever you go for a medical you should take someone with you and record it on ur phone, you have to notify them of the recording and give them a copy of it but this stops them from telling lies on the form cause if it went to apple you would have evidence, go to ur local CAB and get some help x

I did appeal it but just sent it thru normal post dint realise it ad to be done by recorded delivery that was bk in late march thou 2 weeks after I failed it an Avnt heard owt bk since I'm currently on JSA an they keep sending me to these courses with I can't do due to my drinking problem got a sick note from DR yesterday for a month my adividor as told me to get in touch with benefits centre an ask to reclaim ESA but don't no if they'll let me but how can I work wen the DR says I'm not fit for work it's stupid

Unfortunately a lot of people are in that situation because of the people doing the Medical's, like I said I think citizens advise would be your best option x
