ESA Support Group Award

[goldwing]

I've not written anything for a while but have been on reading other peoples posts, but just had to let you know I have just got ESA Support Group with no medical. I think I got it because I sent soo much info with my form, and did not just tick the boxes. I just wanted to let you know that I think this helped.

Well done to you hunny, iam just filling forms in so wish me luck x

[goldwing in reply to gilly25]

good luck, send as much info as you can xx

[Artisans_jw]

I'm with you Goldwing, whenever I am completing forms, I also give as much information as possible simply because FMS cannot be described by ticking boxes and generally because the questions are so off-the-wall.

Good luck to anyone completing forms.

Thanx for reply..I am on esa in support group and had problems with my neck , had op. on it but didnt seem much better so they sent me to a rheumy , he said I have fibro so waiting for dr. to see what medication I am having, although I am on tramadol, and paracetamol for pain relief , tried gabapentin to try help me sleep but had no effect, also had amitryptiline and they gave me dry mouth, still taking them now and again when had no sleep for a couple days.

yes i got it originally for about 8 months with just a sick note. Then got a letter inviting me in for a review. After that they stop everything so i couldn't even pay the rent. I took a lot of evidence to that meeting but the still said no. what into did you take?
