I’ve not seen a single point on an ESA decision in recent months.
Everyone scores 0.
Is this happening nationally?
I am monitoring results at Tribunal to prove the test is either not fit or not being applied appropriately.

It’s not just you. I’ve noticed a lot more WCA coming back at 0 points. The MR’s come back unchanged (nothing new there) and we’re progressing to FTT.

I’ve always thought the reason Atos were replaced was because they were no longer toeing a hard enough line against claimants.

My first submission turned 0 points into 36. I was astonished. My boss unmoved. Happens all the time.

Some zero points are astonishing.
