My first post in FibroAction so hi to everyone.
As per my question headline, has anyone who is claiming ESA been placed in either work based or support based group without filling in a questionnaire?
I was placed in the work group when I was removed from income support in November last year, & I have only just been made aware I should have been assessed before being placed, & indeed only just found out about the 15 point qualifier form. I have made a compaint to the DWP but have been told because I am due to be assessed again in November when 365 days are up I cannot appeal. Does anyone know if this is correct?
I was pointed to a website that provided the Limited capability for work questionnaire, albeit unofficial & self assessing, & my score was 105, so I am pretty angry I wasn't given the chance to fill the form in officially at the time.
The DWP keep sending me for interviews with companies who provide help with getting a CV or interview skills & applying for jobs, despite me telling them I know how to get a job, I just physically can't keep one.
I guess I am asking if anyone knows if I can in fact make an appeal or am I stuck with being in the work group?
Thanks for listening, Speedy.
