ESA assessment. .

[bren876]

Hi everyone hope your feeling as well on this beautiful sunny morning.

Well today is D day fingers crossed that i hear from our friends at the DWP.

I had my ESA assessment 3 weeks ago and received 0 points i had a call last Thursday to say that i would have a decision by the end of this week after my doctor MP and extra evidence was sent to them.

I'm so nervous and scared but as they've stopped all my money and im now running out of food and electric, i can honestly say that ive had very little sleep and my panic attacks and anxiety haven't helped my major flare up of fibro...please keep your fingers crossed for me but only if your pain isn't too bad..gentle hugs to you all xxx

I have fingers, toes, arms and legs crossed for you and hope to see another post from you today with some great news!! xx

Keeping everything crossed for you hope you news soon take care ☺

Hope you get some good news today : = )) If you have not heard from them by lunch time it maybe worthwhile contacting your MP's local office, and tell them you were told you would hear by today and ask them to call and chase it up.

I so wish you get the favourable decision you deserve, keep us posted xx

Sitting here with legs crossed arms and hands will follow after I have typed. They just don't realise what they are doing totally inhuman in my book. They are making the majority suffer for the minorities faults.The new system is actually costing thrm more for the old especially for PIP trouble is that extra cost affects all of us but people without a disability don't seem to care.

Do let us know as soon as you hear.x

Hello bren876

Have you heard anything yet? I am guessing not as we have not heard from you

I do hope that I am wrong and that you have been awarded the points you need.

Yes i called them and was told that they were standing by the 1st decision and I'm fit enough to work 😢so I'll have to go to tribunal.

I'm on pip and had doc's letter to back me up but it didn't help..feeling very upset and fed up with fighting. Xxx

Oh bren876 some of these assessors are just monsters, I.m sure they get a bonus for everyone they turn down! Try to find yourself a Welfare Rights Officer locally (google) and get them to help you, they area an array of knowledge on benefits and tax credits.. Look around for a food bank- yes that might seem very degrading but if needs must!! I.m wondering if your PIP is full allowance because I understood ESA to be a support income and to keep a top up on you N.I contributions until retirement, there are people on the forum normally to help but she,s away for a while so try W.R.O and good luck.

[bren876]

Thank you they really are monsters but I'm up for a fight now that the shock is fading xxx

Hi my friend

I am so genuinely sorry to read that you have to go to tribunal, and I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck with this.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Fingers would be crossed for you if i was atill able to, it sounds like we have good news on ESA today as well.

[bren876]

Firstly thank you all for your kindness and support.

I received my mandatory reconsideration letter and i was scared that after reading the 1st couple of lines (or maybe lies) I had to put it away until my friend came round to support me...they have only looked at my mobility and haven't taken into account my depression anxiety PTS and fibromalya my doctor had written in the letter that I struggle with walking but who ever looked into RC didn't even believe my doctor...well yes tribunal next but I've gone from the fighter to washed out and the night mares are back which only mean very little sleep....sorry for rant and i truly hope your all feeling as well as you can be...gentle hugs everyone xxx
