Confusing ESA letters

We have had a number of clients whose ESA appeal has been reconsidered before reaching a hearing.  Most of them seem to have recieved a letter stating that their appeal had been heard by an independant Tribunal and decided in their favour despite the fact that they had opted for oral hearings and no hearing had taken place (or would take place ,as the decision had been altered in their favour). Another client who went back to work in the first week in February has now had a letter to say that an independant tribunal had heard the case and upheld the Secretary of State’s decision and her ESA therefore ceased from 1st Feb. Needless to say there has not been a full hearing at all, in fact the hearing is on hold pending the Secretary of State’s response to a direction made by the judge.

I’m waiting for a ring back about the last case

Has anyone else had these baffling letters?

I had one client with the letters that appeal had been heard and allowed.  In fact, the decision had been revised by JC+ after we had sent a submission with further medical evidence.
Did not come across the disallowance one.

Yes, had a few around here too.  Pure gobbledygook!

I would be arguing that this could amount to contempt.
