Ongoing esa assessment

[paxo05]

Well the plot thickens, or is it just a thick plot ?

Finally got my gp letter to the right department to state it would be benificial to all concerned for me to have a home visit.

Well.the esa have considered my gp's points and although they " seem valied" habe decided after consideration that my gp is wrong and I do not warrant a home visit.

I have yet to let my gp know what they think of his opinion , can't wait for his reaction.

Also it looks like I am to have a stressful and possibly short assessment at the esa medical centre. I have yet to receive a date for this entertaining event but I already feeling anxious. I know I will have problems recalling information that could be key on top of dealing with the new surroundings.

I am in a catch 22 situation as the only way I can deal with new places is to take medication to help me relax. The main side effect is then not being able to concentrate and quite often talk utter rubbish ( polite version).

I will update on how this pans out. They have told me the assessment process is a speedy affair.....Well it's been going on since the start of the year and I seem no nearer to being assessed.

That's all for now.

Dwp are just plain evil. Make sure you take someone with you, explain you are heavily medicated and therefore it cannot be an accurate assessment. Request in advance that it is recorded , otherwise they will lie. Concentrate on where you are going to get the points you need, repeat over and over the descriptors that apply to you. Remember to get in the support group you need to target one of the support group descriptors, otherwise they will stick you in the fit for work related activity category and will then have the power to sanction you if you don't do exactly what they say. Good luck.

Be sure to make a list of your issues (& remember to take the list ! ) and take Mrs Pax with you. You have to suspect a touch of Sadism at work here don't you ? ..………...serve them right if you had a full-blown attack (but hope you don't 🙄 ) xx
