Hi all

Im appealing against the DWP to reconsider my claim

But on the bright side my esa was paid today i received just under 400 pound so that was a releif

Ill keep u posted on the PIP matter

Glad you've at least got your ESA. Good luck with the reconsideration.x

Thank you rose

I cant believe how simple it was i rung them up to ask what was going on with my claim and the woman said she will look into it and ring me back

Half hour later she rang me back to say she has sorted my claim out herself and my money will be in my account in a few hours, i checked my account 20 mins later and it was there

Why cant pip be as simple as that?

Hi Gangamen

Apart from the assessments I actually found the people I spoke to on the phone to do with ESA were very good and considerate if only the assessors were the same but I think it is the framework they are forced to work in as I can't believe there are so many unemphathic people in the world.

I am dreading PIP as I am on lower rate of DLA and think I will miss out on it after I have read the new prescriptors. Fingers crossed again for you.x

Wow 400 that's fantastic I got 70 so well done you, just shows how different payments can be ☺

[Ganjaman96 in reply to Janebig9]

It was backdated from when i restarted my claim because they stopped my first claim so i had to start another

[Janebig9 in reply to Ganjaman96]

It's gud that they back date things because all the forms we fill in seem to take ages to get sorted, glad your sorted now , gud luck on your journey ☺

[Ganjaman96 in reply to Janebig9]

[Janebig9 in reply to Ganjaman96]
