Unversal Credit Appeal

[seduraed]

My son who has physical and mental health problems has been moved from limited capacity to work and work related activities and to limited capacity for work.He has anxiety, depression anger issues with violence is unable to drive and the UC health assessment has said that it is dangerous for him to return to work. Despite this he has been moved to the limited capacity for work group. The health assessment was only possible with me on the phone as well as him staying up all night so he didn't miss the assessment. The move caused him to ham a breakdown and he was nearly suicidal having to move back in with us. I have appealed as i wasn't told about the mandatory reconsideration until after the date for it had passed.

Do i need to send the tribuanl the medical report or will they already have it?
Does anyone know any case law regarding the situation as it has cost him money and he cannot work either now in the foreseeable future.

I would submit a copy of all and any medical evidence on the understanding the DWP will not have done anything which would aid your case and so assume the tribunal did not already have a copy.

When the tribunal found in my son's favour (some years ago now) I seem to recall the decision was backdated and he also received some compensation. (However my recollection is hazy)

Good luck
