Hi @binman02 welcome to the community, I am sorry to hear about your stressful time.  You can call the Scope helpline on 08088003333 to speak to an advisor and get some support.

Hi @binman02,

How are you? Were you able to speak to Scope's helpline about your ESA and PIP?

In terms of appeals, there's lots of useful information about mandatory reconsiderations and tribunals on our website. I hope this is useful.

I've also moved this post to our Ask a Benefits Advisor category, where @BenefitsTrainingCo may be able to advise further.

If you receive the severe disability premium, this will stop. If you were on higher rate care DLA and are in the work related group, your enhanced disability premium will stop too.

You'll have to inform ESA that your DLA has now stopped. As I learnt, they don't talk to each other.
