    Hi @polly_1960
    Im also new on here and have had a lot of battle to get help.  I am esa (in the care group) which is important to get into if you are unable to work. For me I had two things on my side I had a brilliant advisor from welfare rights who sorted out any issues that came up with my claim.  I also had worked for dwp and had had to take on the esa department when people were having problems.  My advice is any forms you fill in for esa and pip you give information as if it is your worst day.  But also get any medical reports from consultants, gp therapist etc.  Get them together phototcopy them and send them in.  This gives them loads of info and gives them more of an insight into your disability.  Hope you get it sorted
