Hi everyone.
I am looking for some advice if anyone can help me please?
My husband failed his work assessment with the dwp, and also the mandatory decision.
There was quite a few in the results that were untrue, we asked for him to be seen at home as
He was involved in a serious car accident in Feb 2018, which has left him with physical injuries, and very bad PTSD.
The assessment officer was a physiotherapist, although I feel not qualified to deal with mental health conditions, which cannot be addressed for another seven months on the waiting list.
He rarely goes out of the house, sits in the back of the car blind folded, as he is so frightened.
Further conditions that relate to PTSD.
I would like advise to how to possible win the appeal in a tribunal. Does he have to go or can I represent him.
I am very disappointed with the dwp to have to put us through this ordeal especially as the car crash was not his fault, and he is unable to return to his job......He is presently on universal credit as a joint claim.
Hope you can help
Kind regards

Hi @smokey24,
Welcome to Scope's online community. It's great to have you here.
I'm sorry to hear about your husband's car accident and the problems he has been having with his work assessment.
I have moved this into our Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) category. You may also find our page on appealing a DWP benefits decision useful.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions then please do get in touch!Liam -
Thank you.
