wrag appeal

can anyone help please. I had my work capability medical in jan of this year. I was placed in the wrag group. I asked for my medical report, after reading I appealed by phone, and then a letter on 14 Feb. I had my first personal interview 4 march, was told by advisor she knew I had appealed, so I would have to wait for the outcome, before any more appointments. To date I have not heard. What do I do now.

Hi raph,

If it's your appeal, your case should have been reconsidered automatically on appeal, have you been told that it has been reconsidered, failed, and put forward to appeal.

You should have been, if that's the case.

Thank you for your help,it may be because I moved in April to a different area, hence a new GP, my medical notes have still not arrived, has been 3 months now. It will probably not help that my new GP is a stranger to me.. One more thing I would like to mentio, when I read through my medical report, I was horrified to read that the Dr, had put me down in the wrong occupation. i.e. apparently my job entailed carrying a light tray and serving customers. Guess what my occupation was?. Thanks a lot

Thanks for that. What I have not heard about, is the letter I wrote to the dwp appealing against being placed in the wrag.
I thought I should receive an answer within 3 months, so that I could ask for the case to be considered by tribunal. I was under the impression that I had only a limited amount of time, to do this.

raph,

As Gordon advised in his reply, you really need to contact the DWP, to see what the "state of play" is, as I previously said a reconsideration is automatic on appeal, have they done this, what was the decision, are they requesting extra medical evidence from your G.P., or have they reconsidered, not changed the decision, and put it forward to appeal.

You are entitled to answers to these questions, I would back up any phone contact with written correspondence, and keep copies.
