Hi Shahanara123

It may be best to ring them on the number at the top of your letter and ask about this as it does not sound right at all? With those points you should have qualified for a ESA. I want to genuinely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Like Ken says ring em Hun worse they can do is clarify why you didn't get it or they can except they made a mistake. If you don't question it they won't look at it again your case will be filed and they won't be aware of the mistake lol wishing you loads of luck and a right desission no idea if that is spelt right lol xxxxxxxx

I would phone but follow it up with a written so that you have a written reply as well. I think you then have four weeks to lode an appeal, please check this timings.

Sorry it's we that only have four weeks to complete the ESA50 form including getting it back in on the given date. I keep on remembering important things like a large strangulated hernia and frequent bouts of hospitalisation because of pneumonia!

I understood if you got 15 in any section then you qualified for ESA so I can't understand why you haven't been automatically been awarded it?

Best of luck

Mine went in on Friday so  I have the wait until there first reply 😳

Thanks Malcolm I've got a good GP but it's such a hit and miss system. How well the individual can explain their disability, how ATOS decided to interpret that into words that suit them, then the Drs interpretation then back to ATOS, who may contact Consultants, specialists, physio, pain clinic, psychiatric or psychologist for depression, as if theses people are deemed unfit in their first consultations, then ATOS AGAIN!  who recommended a course of action for DWP. Anyone seen a system set up to fail such as this?
