Hi @Teresak
Welcome to Scope’s online community!
That sounds very stressful. Is there anyway you can appeal? I am wondering if your post might work in our ‘ask a benefits advisor’ section also. @Sam_Scope
In the meantime, there’s a link here on employment support allowance you may find useful: https://www.scope.org.uk/support/disabled-people/benefits/esa
You could also contact your local Citizen’s Advice Berau for help- it’s a really good free service who will support you and advice on how to appeal the decision.
Best wishes,

Thankyou so much!! I'm so scared, I can't get out much and live in a tiny village, but carer could take me to near town, do I make appointment? I never been through this, God bless you.0

Hi Teresak and welcome
First thing is to request a copy of the assessment report
Next is to ask for a mandatory reconsideration within a month of the date on your lettr.
Have a look at the WCA self teston the B&W site
http://www.mybenefitsandwork.co.uk/med2/indexxx.php
There has been a tribunal judgement with regard to being able to do things safely, and if supervision is required. The dwp are supposed to be looking at claimants that mat have been affected especially, but not limited, to people with epilepsy and heart conditions.
