Work-related activity

I've been put in this group after my ESA medical and I don't know how possibly can I cope with it. Is anyone doing it who can tell me what involves? From what I have read I don't know how I could possibly can deal with it. I would get back to work at least a couple of hours a week if I could do this work-relates activity but I am obviously not fit for it.

Hello there Smily! Thank you for your message, I hope we are able to point you in the right direction. If you click on the link below it will take you to the ESA tag, which has a wealth of information on ESA, appealing etc. I hope you find some info on there to help you.

You could also try popping along to your local CAB (Citizens' Advice Bureau) who will be able to provide you with more information on how to appeal etc. Click on the link below for some good pointers there too.

Thanks Alison, that makes me feel better. I also read if you are not well enough to go you can postpone it. I guess this might be too often if you are too ill, though. How long are the interviews? I can't sit straight for over 20 minutes and this really worries me.
