We are assured by the corporate appointee engagement team that they are taking on board what we say and some things will change (UC claim should now have a question as to whether you are claiming as an appointee). We were also asked to give an opinion about whether MNs to corporate appointees should be done in a lump or spread out, with a statement that ESA MNs are not yet being sent to corporate appointee claimants on ESA.

Can only hope this is a rogue one and not a harbinger of things to come - our corporate appointee team have just received a MN for a client on ESA for whom they have not acted as appointee since 2019. Not even a social care client any more.

It does not fill me with confidence.
