I would like to thank this site for being so informative.

Hi Fg1,

That's really good news.

Thank you for letting us know, and for your positive comments regarding B&W.

Hi m

Fg1 may wish to answer you also.

As it is optional whether or not copy of an ESA50 is sent to the DM also, it will not probably impact on a claimant's ESA WCA decision, unless there is a problem at the ATOS end of things.

Think of it as a "failsafe" just as a fuse may sit in the plug of an electrical appliance for many years without blowing.

It only protects you if there is a fault situation, then it performs its purpose, blows, breaks the circuit and protects you from electrical shock or fire.

Obviously the use of the correct fuse in a plug, is not optional though, this is a "must do"

Sorry to ramble on a bit !!
