    Hi,

    If this a is a review of your ESA and the decision is to put you into the Support Group, there's nothing you can do about the decision that was made by the Tribunal. At the time they didn't think that you fitted the criteria for the Support Group, so they placed you into the WRAG. What you should have done at the time is asked the Tribunal for the statement of reasons to see if an error of law was made. Too late for that now, if this assessment is a review.

    Please remember that when going to an assessment, the HCP writes a report and this is then sent to the DWP with a recommendation. A decision maker then looks at the report and makes a decision from that.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    It still doesn't change the decision made by the Tribunal, unless an error in law is found. As i stated the HCP doesn't make the decision, they make a recommendation to the decision maker and from the report the decision maker makes their decision. Nothing is final until a decisions been made. Good luck.

    That's great news. I'm not sure why you want to take it back to Tribunal. As you've recently been re-assessed then this decision has overruled the decision made by the Tribunal. When the Tribunal made their decision it would have been based on what your condition was like when the previous decision was made.

    There's nothing stopping you from asking the Tribunal for a copy of the statement of reasons and record of proceedings, you can request this by emailing the Tribunal.
    The good news is you're now in the support group again and can relax for a while at least.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
