ESA Support group.

Hello you lovely people.

I don’t usually post anything but I’m always reading the posts from others and decided to share my good news I was made redundant in September this year and rather than it being a bad thing it made me look at my lifestyle and how I was struggling to cope with working full time 4 days a week . I made the decision after speaking to doctor and specialist to stop working after 35 years. My body is always in pain as I have had RA for over 30years and have CoPD and osteoarthritis. I made a claim for ESA and after 4 weeks assessment stage , have been put in ESA support group. I am so over the moon I don’t have to look for another job which would be a struggle. I am more shocked that this happened without having to go through the phone call I thought I would have to have. I have applied for PIP but have heard nothing yet but will wait and see on that one. It’s nice to have some good news in light of the awful situation we are all currently living with. Take care everyone and keep safe .🤗

Thank you Hun . It’s a relief as I was worried they’d make me get another job which I would struggle to do. Take care and keep safe
