    Well I had my second appointment after showing him some material in regards to my suspected aspergers and should get tested but they don't deal with austism

    He gave me some information which turn out to be an incorrect number.

    Anyway I spoke to an adviser on the austism website who given a list of material to give to my doctor to get refer to the correct people. At least I'm getting somewhere just a little annoyed that I wasted three months because my doctor sent me to the wrong person.

    However the lady on the phone from the austim community advise this is a very common problem.

     

    What county are you in - I may be able to advise, as I do some voluntary work, which includes liaising with clinicians in southern cou ties of England

    Hi everyone

     

    Thank you all very much for your feedback.

     

    I have been updated on my son's ESA claim, it has been progressed already, they have sent a ESA113 to our family GP, if the GP fills in the form with the sufficient information, I was informed this should avoid my son having a face to face assessment.

    They confirm they have enough of the other information like from his specialists etc but just want this report received from our GP now in order to review.

     

    I did send them ample of medical evidence and support letters and repeated all his issues on the ESA50 form.

     

    Am surprised how quickly this have moved on, it was only the end of January we first put in the claim for my son.

     

    I will keep you posted and again thank you all for your feedback, it's been very helpful x

    I was successful in getting into the support group with ASD traits alone, it does really depend on how much input one has with filling out the forms, if its done by a social worker or mental health professional one has a much better chance you know.

    Absolutely - if the ESA50 is filled-in properly, you don't have to go to ATOS. I last had to attend ATOS in Feb 2011, and subsequent ESA50 forms done in Sep 2011 and January 2014, the former filled in by a welfare rights team part of the Oxleas Trust in Crayford - now gone, and outsourced to Mind, also good, and the latter by The 170 Project at New Cross... I am now in the written-off category, and had a recent backpayment.
