Hi junebee,

There is a really good factsheet from Disability Rights UK that you can download on how to write an appeal submission. I have put a link to below for you. I hope you find it useful:

thank you I looked at that got help from dial .someone is coming to see me and help me its happening to a lot of others .I think they want you to give up trying so the numbers get reduced I have never asked for help in my life ,I have given help to others all my life as a unpaid carer now iam very ill I cant get help I feel in a very dark tunnel with only a small light at the end , never mind I will be 60 in the morning that is a great mile stone for me .due to a heart condition as a child I was told I would only live to be 14yrs old .so there I have determination

Oh I'm sorry to hear this. I haven't yet applied though I haven't hardly been out of the house for the past 6 months. I lost my job due to RA over two years ago and at the time I thought I was unable to claim esa because of my husbands job. I recently learnt I should've been awarded it in my own right but they refused me because I haven't paid tax in the past 12 months? Err Yeah because i lost my job?? Felt so stressed and upset by it I couldn't face appealing and it's put me off a claim for pip. Even though my dr says I should. It feels like they are trying to grind down people with this illness. Not really relevant to your post but just wanted to say I wish you luck with your decision and understand the stress. Being turned down like this is the last thing you need when it's a struggle day to day xxx

Happy birthday for tomorrow, have a great day, and try not to worry about this. M x
