Welcome Unruhe, I would be lost without this forum. There are some lovely posters who willing to give up their time to help us and give us great advise too. Many thanks to them, much appreciated!

I got mine assessment results back within 2 weeks, everyone is different. It's could take up to 3 months to hear anything from the ATOS Medical. With the travelling expenses again within 2 weeks,...

I personally would send the letter (Any Medical Reports/letters) along with the ESA50, If it would help my case and a better chance of getting into the Support Group. Just wait and see what the...

I did the PIP checker, It's say I will not be affected by PIP until 2015 or later! My DLA is Indefinite.

"You shouldn’t be affected by Personal Independence Payment (PIP) until 2015 or later, but...

As Wobble had said ^^. It's can take up to 13 weeks or more even to process new claim. Depending how busy they are.

My thoughts exactly. It's disgusting, that's bloody Tories for you.

Hi Steve. :) I think we are all worried too.

Hope so. Just wish they could decide to scrap UC altogether and just leave it be. People are confused about this whole UC thing, It's true, they are unprepared for this.

On the forum page, you will see a "+Post New Thread" (Click on it) It's on the left side, at the top.

exactly, we need someone to have a voice and speak up for us. But of course Ian Duncan Smith doesn't give a damn about us.

Yes, positive thinking! :D Never heard Encephalitis before, I regret not appealing my decision. I am in the ESA WRAG, as slipmaster had said above you can phone up or download form GL24 and send it...

Hopefully the benefits Adviser will able to help and guide you in the next step. :D

Thanks for the link. It was interesting to read.

I am concerned and still confused about the whole Universal Credit Change. When does the Universal Credit Change take place in East Midlands, It's...

Is there a local CAB near you, you could go? As others had said you need to get a GL24 form and you just need to say why you want to appeal and send it off as soon as possible. You can send in any...

I would be annoyed if it happened to me. I read a few stories that most people on ESA are being reassessed after 6 or even 3 months. Just ridiculous! :( As Wobble suggested, you could phone DWP and...

You could contact CAB or Welfare Benefits Adviser near you, as they will know more information on benefits and help you. I would like to know who told you, you will never qualify for the Support...

Hi Franny, you should appeal if you can, get someone like CAB or Welfare Rights to help you with you. You have got a month to appeal and get a Gl24 form to fill in. All the best.

I agree with Wobble.

I just wanted to add you have my sympathy Sarah and I completely understand what you are going through. I had SPD during my pregnancy from 3 months, I had very difficulty...

Thanks for the info.

I agree with Susie, asked for ESA50 (I think) Medical Report. I had my medical last June, I was put into the WRAG group.

My adviser at the Jobcentre is quite nice, he leave me alone and only had...

ESA Form - Which questions have changed? I am so behind on things ha.

With my ATOS Medical Assessment, I was in there over 30 mins. (I think everyone medical is different, a friend of mine was in the medical within 20 mins) I think It's all depend who you have in the...

I think It's all change now, you do have to go the Jobcentre interviews. If you were in the Support Group, then you will not have to attend work-focused interviews. I have only had two work-focused...

Gosh, I'm very sorry to hear that, I suppose you take each day as it comes. You do give out some great advice on this forum and others posters too. :)

Never knew you are blind, Dave. I think you are doing pretty well considering, I have never been confident with my literacy skills. (mainly struggle with grammar/spelling myself)

You had an ATOS assessment in January, was that for DLA re-assessed? and you lost your DLA altogether. Now you are appealing against the decision and are you still on ESA? Probably got myself...
