Mental Health & ESA/UC - are you LCW/LCWRA

bluefox

I’m really curious to find out how many other people have successfully claimed ESA/UC support group for common mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic disorder, etc.

Are you LCW/LCWRA?
What evidence did you provide? GP/Psychiatrist/Mental Health Nurse

or no evidence, no diagnosis?

I'm curious why you want to know this? As you're aware by now that neither of those benefits have anything to do with a diagnosis and you don't need medical evidence to successfully be awarded either of them.

My last ESA review was in 2020 and i had a paper based assessment without sending any medical evidence.

I guess because it’s good to understand how the DWP treats those with mental health conditions. I’m very keen on raising awareness for mental health and feel I could learn from others and their experiences.
