RE: Incapacity Benefit appeal after client failed to attend the medical Mon 24-Nov-08 02:57 PM
Sounds like your client has just been found capable of work on grounds of not attending medical so the appeal will only be looking at whether she had good cause not going
History of claim can be an issue - has she failed to turn up before
If health grounds for not going try to get medical evidence
Very important to check whether she got the letter about the medical
There is no entitlement to reduced IS while appealing this
