Hi everyone, please can anyone help answer my question, my ESA got stopped 2nd July and then a letter was sent off asking for a reconcideration the day after. Didn't hear anything back until i was advised to call asking about only to be told the letter had been misplaced. But would be passed on to be delt with. That was 7 weeks later. Then last week welfare rights lady called on my behalf to be told same thing so she said she would be putting in a mandatory complaint. Low and behold letter came thismornig saying they're not changing decision of zero points. So now ive sent off for an appeal. Ive been living on my pip with a struggle. I have fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression Psa. Can anyone tell me how long it takes for an appeal date to come through. Thanks for reading my rant. SORRY

Couldn't say exactly, didn't welfare rights say?do you have adult services through social work? They could maybe help you regarding money as one off,social work I meant,you could call social work and ask for the duty worker that's on that day and explain your having a hard time living just off your pip the now,also,phone that welfare rights back and ask what sort of timeline does ESA have to give you a date of appeal.you must be going outve your mind with worries ?.

Hello Mark, I am at the appeal stage now I have 10 days to get more evidence in, I'm hoping GP will help, after the DWP ignored a letter from my consultant. I have 5 life long conditions and still that is not good enough to put me back into the support group. I also have severe depression and anxiety and have been waiting 10 months now for any money. I don't know what they expect from us. Have you any advice to help me.
Thank you x

Thanks so much all. The lady at welfare rites says soon as i hear back to let her know. My letter of appeal was sent yesterday so hopefully not too much longer. Just sick with worry, i can't sleep, up n down most of the night then the roll on effect makes me miserable during the day. Please keep fingers crossed and everything else too. Thanks x
