    I had the same. I feel I have been placed into the wrong group. I have been placed into the Work Focused Group even though I am still under Hospital ENT and Hearing consultants due to being diagnosed with Menieres Disease and had produced supporting evidence. I still have attacks of sudden vertigo accompanied with vomiting and distorted vision and complete deafness but it is pointless keep going to the GP as there is no other medication other than what I am already on and there is no cure and it is a progressive disease with each attack I lose more of my balance and hearing in the effected ear. No employer will employ me with the Health and Safety risk I pose. 
    I had to attend an interview with my support worker who agreed with me and said I will not be fit for the foreseeable future and put an advisory on my record to indicate his findings and no appointments to be made before June 2019. Letter I received from DWP 3 weeks after the meeting said I was still in the work focused group. They are a law onto themselves.
