Hi,

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking here - are you looking to not work and get ESA or carry on working and get PIP.

I have anorexia but I couldn't see how that qualifies me for any disability help. I do have other significant disabilities which do match the qualifiers in PIP/ESA. Have a look through the qualifiers for the disability benefits and see whether you would get enough points.

Are you getting help to recover from the bulimia? Could the effect at work be a motivation to get better? Recovery is not easy as you probably already know but i is the best course of action.

all the best
