ESA experience

[Purplefootedfairie]

Hello there,

I've recently been diagnosed with ME and FND after 7 months of fatigue and bizarre neurological symptoms.

I had a lot of time off sick, and tried to go back to my job on a gradual basis but it has got to much, and I've started going back downhill again. My job is intense, and with 2 small ones I've made the decision to stop work for the minute, take a breather and then change fields to something more sustainable.

In the mean time, I need to 'sign on' to something.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience of applying for ESA and what the expectations of the work related group are? I'm not work adverse, just need a breather and time. Plus probably need to get some Microsoft Office training under my belt as probably going to head in the administration direction.

Best wishes
