Please go to benefitsandwork.co.uk. It truly is an amazing site that is worth the £20 which is for a year. 3 words you should use for each ANSWER is cannot do REPEATEDLY, RELIABLY and SAFELY. Say how it affects you if you do task, eg going out means takes days or weeks to recover as you go into flare up. If you can’t do something say so, but explain. in detail. I TYPED IT ALL UP, so I could edit or add things. If you look at my old posts some from 5 days to a year or so ago goes into greater detail. If you need more help pm me. But looking at my old posts does explain things.

Good luck x

Thankyou laurielee I can't find my report from 3 years ago .I can't even remember half the stuff I've just put on the reassment forms which I've just sent back to them .I have our concentration and fibromyalgia fog .my morphine makes me drowsy but I need to take it all the time through out the day . Plus now I have got arthritis in my hip and back can't walk far without being in pain. I can't sit for long . I can't stand for long because of the all over body pain .I lost all my hair last year threw the stress with the pip . It just makes me so stressed all this .I thought I've sent in all my information and letters etc but they still want to see me I don't understand why .

I am not sure, but maybe they pick people randomly. I know it’s NOT fair. The stress it puts us all through is unbelievable to others. Just go with someone to support you. Take a copy of what you put on form and just do your best. Good luck. Make sure you ask for it to be RECORDED as they have the RECORDING EQUIPMENT FOR ESA. However you need to ask for this to be done and confirm a few days before Assessment that they have arranged it.

Good luck x
