ESA Appeal Lapsed

Thank you Gordon for the invaluable tips and downloads on this site that enabled me to ask for the JC report and the full doctors assessment report in the tiny time frame allowed. In order to request a mandatory reconsideration. Since son was removed from support group to WRAG group. Reading the report spured me on as it was rushed, full of assumptions, errors and down right lies. I did attend with my son and was told to shut up when I tried to explain the difficulties with my sons hidden disability's and how they affect his everyday life. The ESA assessment Oct 2017, Mandatory reconsideration November 2017. Asked for time to allow me to collect supporting letters. Immediately in days they sent letter to say they agree with the assessor's report and recommendations. Which meant they were not changing their original discission. Ok then i thought. Guess they just send a strong worded letter . Hoping I would be intimidated. I felt like i was being told off as I read it . So sent appeal form on 12th of December 2017 with 2 support letters. Letter arrived to say now in the appeal process from Leeds. Brown envelope drops on the mat last week. What now I thought. A reconsideration notice, appeal lapsed. Words were jumping out at me but could not really take it in. Only after reading it repeatedly did I then realise they were returning my son to support group for 2 years. Stating under section 35. That they are unable to identify any work related activity that would not be detrimental to his health. Surprise surprise. Since having a massive tumour removed from his brain and considering he has lost half is sight,. Aswell as suffering a massive stroke which has now left him with daily migraines, short term memory loss and chronic fatigue. Carnt believe we don't have to suffer a year long wait of stress for appeal and that finally some one seems to understand my sons hidden disability's. All sorted from appeal submissions to reconsideration notice in less then 5 weeks. I could have easily given up . So glad I didn't. Thank you so much for all you help and advice. Is this a record breaking result Gordon. Hope you and the other moderators had a great Christmas Break. You all deserve it. Thank you. Thank you. Xx
