Confused about ESA

Community member Posts: 9 Listener
I was out into wrag at first and then I put in a MR which was declined. I have sent the court form off for tribunal but in January this year I got a e50 form and was put in support without another assessment. I phoned DWP and I didn't get an explanation. As I have been put in the support group is there any point in going to tribunal ?.

Thanks Chloe. Thanks Steve. I am grateful for the posts, however I jus don't know whether or not to goto tribunal or not ?.0

Hi @Zoemcq, I understand this is a hard decision to make, especially because of the time and stress. This is completely up to you but the community will support you with whatever decision you make.

I don't think I've got anything to lose ?0

I am not sure if this is straight forward ( morphine has got my brain atm )You probably should get trained advice from an agency near you.@poppy123456 what are your thoughts please1
-
Hi,How long was the time between the first decision and the 2nd decision please? Also when did you first claim ESA?0
-
Tribunal services told me that it's from 23rd June 2018. The second decision was in Jan/Feb this year. I can't remember when it was maybe about 18 months ago. Sorry I'm not much help can't get to my paperwork.0
-
Yes I might go see the advisor who helped me fill in the court form for tribunal0
-
That means that there's a 7-8 month difference in the decision dates. Also if you claimed after April 2017 then WRAG will only pay you £73 per week.My opinion is, yes most definitely worth take it to Tribunal. Whatever decision the Tribunal make, it won't make any difference to the decision you recently had. The only advantage to you would be if the Tribunal awarded you limited capability for work related activity (Support Group) then you'll receive backdated money from the date the decision was made.If i were you, i'd continue. Good luck.0

Thanks I'm just feeling a bit anxious about it all. The tribunal place said I'm on week 43 and they do them between 48-59 weeks give or take.0
-
I didn't think they would give 7/8 months of back pay.0

Zoemcq said:I didn't think they would give 7/8 months of back pay.They can if you are placed LCWRA group so nothing to lose@poppy123456 thanks you I thought ther might be something possible but the spiders in my head are fuzzing things up1

CR is correct, if the decision by the Tribunal is LCWRA then they will owe you backdated money.No problem @CockneyRebel always happy to help! Give those spiders a flick0
