ESA papers include records of Jobcentre Plus conversations…
I hadn’t encountered this before, so flagging it up for information and any thoughts.
Normal ESA papers, except instead of just saying the old spiel about claims for Jobseeker’s not affecting the outcome of the appeal (or whatever it used to be), they’ve gone to the trouble to include a number of records from Jobcentreplus conversations in connection with the JSA claim following the decision about failed WCA.
These are written flagging up all the positive things going on in the world of jobsearch, as I guess you might expect. I haven’t discussed them with the appellant just yet, so I don’t know if there are issues about the way they have been recorded. It’s clear that not all conversations have been included, which seems to me the very least requirement of producing this kind of evidence.
On a slightly different tack I recently had occasion to call DWP(re re ESA) who then decided that I was from JC+ until advised otherwise. Theywent t hrough the security qs and it was only when I asked about scanningdocs did they twigg I was not from JC+
