this was found online can someone offer an opinion on the following quote? and if they agree what excuse do i give the assessment people? its in 4 days? thanks

'recent interesting case has been brought to the attention of DPAC, which demonstrates that it is absolutely essential for claimants to refuse to undergo a WCA without first completing an ESA50, and to refuse to undergo a WCA with an ESA50 submitted for an earlier assessment.In practice, no claimant should agree to undergo a WCA without first submitting an ESA50 form with the most recent medical information. Go back to Maximus and ask them for a new ESA50 form. Ultimately, the legal power to require evidence rests with the DWP and not Maximus.'

Might be worth contacting the Citizens Advice Bureau on Monday, they are very well versed in benefit legislation.
