challenge rights re ESa decision date

client notified of decision on 28/10/13 and advised ” no longer eligible from 25/10/13” (m/t)

Is it possible to submit appeal so ESA is   paid at assessment rate pending appeal - otherwise its JSA…

Thanks in advance

Has it got the Mandatory Recon notice with it?
If it has he’ll need to request recon and think about JSA while it’s ongoing, if not he can go straight to appeal

Yes, that’s the issue not the date.  The regs came into force in April it’s just that the DWP delayed applying the MR until October.

Ive had 4 clients already who were given decision notices dated before the 28th, but told they couldnt appeal by Jobcentre Plus as they have to MR first. Clueless, just clueless….........

Hes has had   no Notice   yet

If it were me I’d bang an appeal into JCP arguing no need for MR as he’s not received the prescribed notice.

Benefitsadviser; was that the “help"line or workers at the bdc?
