Hi I had my tribunal yesterday but it don't say what group I'm going to be in. Can anybody help me please the letter says
1:the appeal is allowed
2:the decision by the secretary of state on 11/12/17 is set aside.
3: Mr Xx had limited capability for work
4: in applying the work capability assesment 18 points where scores from the activities and descriptors in schedule 2 of the ESA regulation s 2008 made up as follows.
6 points for coping with change
6 points for getting about
6 points for coping with social engagement due to cognitive impairment or mental disorder
5: no schedule 3 descriptors applies regulation 35 of the ESA regulations 2008 did not apply.
By reason of significant anxiety and low mood Mr Xx is significantly limited in particular in carrying out daily living activities that requires interaction with people he does not know. As a result the above descriptors are satisfied. In reaching its decision the tribunal placed particular reliance upon the evidence from Mr Xx and his mother.
Any recommendations given below does not form part of the tribunals decision and is not binding on the secretary of state.
The tribunal recommendes that the DWP does not reassess Mr Xx within 24 month from today's date.
Does that mean I'm in support group!?

Hi,As previously answered in your other thread, this is WRAG and not Support Group. See your other thread regarding this, here. https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/47205/tribunal-for-esa#latest5: no schedule 3 descriptors applies regulation 35 of the ESA regulations 2008 did not apply.This mean that Support Group did not apply.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Thank you both very much

Hi lostinthought
Just to add to poppy123456 the tribunal has no power in regard to how long ESA should wait until they reassess your case. As such, although it states on the tribunal decision that your cases should not be reassessed for 24 months this is a suggestion by the tribunal rather than an order.
