    You need to tell them he never leaves the house and tell them when the last time he did leave the house. Also tell them that you're waiting for a letter from his GP to confirm this. They may send his file back to DWP for failing to attend, if this happens then he could be found fit for work. You really don't want this to happen.

    When the work capability assessment was returned did you send evidence to support his claim?

    The health assessment providers won't do that. They will send your file back to DWP. I'd also advise you to ring DWP as well.

    Are you sure it's ATOS? they no longer do work capability assessments, it's now health assessment advisory service. Do you have the appointment letter? The number should be on the top of that. What time is his appointment?
    Their contact number is 0800 288 8777.

    You're welcome. As the file is now being returned to DWP they will write to him to ask why he didn't attend the assessment. If they don't accept his reasons they he'll be found fit for work for failing to attend. You will then need to request the Mandatory Reconsideration on that decision. If this happens i urge you to get some face to face advice because your money will stop and if the MR decision doesn't change you won't be able to go back onto ESA while waiting for the Tribunal.

    I would also ring ESA and explain to them that your husband was unable to attend the WCA today and that you've been waiting for a letter from his GP saying he's unable to attend and needs a home assessment. Good luck.

    No problem. Are you requesting a paper based assessment? Most people have face to face assessments. Paper based only happens if there's enough of evidence.

    You will need to ring DWP to ask what's going on because unfortunately, no one here will be able to answer that question.

    Give them a quick ring @fiesta56, they should be able to advise.
