The Judge and Dr at my ESA appeal were very good.

I hope whoever is at mine understand what i go through everyday.  I used to work 70 hours a week. 1 full time job as a head chef and 3 part time jobs cleaning offices banks and even my local job centre,  I used to go
swimming 3 times a week and go out most weekends. Now my rubbish bin goes out more than I do ?

Well you’ve still got your sense of humour!

Any appeal to MR or tribunal should focus on how and why you meet the criteria. CM's and tribunals are not interested in misrepresentaions in the report.

By trying to dispute what the assessor has said or done will only confuse the situation

Any complaint about the assesor or the report contents should be directed to the assessment provider

I agree with that, but if you have to appeal to a tribunal, that is the time to point out what is wrong with the HCP report which is being used in evidence against you.

So as well as saying how my illnesses affect me I should also point out the assessors “errors” lies?  This appeal is daunting for me as this is the first appeal I’ve had to do an it was also my first mandatory reconsideration, so I’m going to do a letter saying how my illnesses affect me, then maybe another pointing out the lies inaccuracies as well. I was told I could also include a copy of the official letter of complaint sent to the HCP company.  I’ll leave it to my sister to point out the lies told because she is fuming she was with me

A copy of your complaint could be included with your submission to tribunal, but your main focus should still be showing how and why you meet the criteria for each descriptor that applies

Howabout they meet the criteria. You no the one that treats people with respect and dignity any one who tells lies ain't worth the ground they stand on

Like it was in the old days before assessments.
