Hi, All of the summery you made is correct, the reason that they stopped it from may is apparently i did not send in a drs note or medical evidence, I was not aware that i had to , i was never asked for this. I am going to ask the DWP for my information they hold on me over the past two 4 years, to see what i have been sent etc.

Thank you so much for replying so quickly. I am so nervous about getting the correct information to submit to the court, as I will be representing myself...

i was hoping that there maybe something in English Law that i could use regarding the incorrect information and use that for good cause

I am writing a submission to a tribunal. I received a letter from the ESA dept stating that my claim has been reassessed and I have now been awarded payments from 13th January 2011 to 7th May 2011. The letter also states that because I did not attend an interview on 12th October 2011 my payments were stopped as of the 8th May 2011. I telephoned the Benefit centre, to double check whether this letter was correct. The operative I spoke to confirmed that the payment is due to be made, as the claim that I had made on the 13th January 2011 had been incorrectly issued with the wrong tax year, which explains why I had received the letters saying that I was not entitled to any benefits, just NI credits. I did query this several times during 2011. In 2011, I was told that I did not have to attend the interview because I was not receiving ESA benefits (monies) just credits towards my pension. So I took the advice of the operative in 2011, and did not attend. Due to this claim being incorrect in the beginning, I received incorrect information about not having to attend the appointment, and as such I have not been awarded the benefits from 8th May 2011 to present date which I believe I am entitled to as the current claim is dormant. Just wondering if you had any advice whilst I appeal against this decision. I can provide medical evidence from my GP to say that I still suffer with severe depression/anxiety; also my community psychiatric nurse (CPN) and my psychiatrist can both verify this. I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter.
