    Have you had an ESA claim successfully submitted with a fit note; been paid assessment rate and had a medical and then been refused or are you saying you've not managed to get that far?

    When you have been turned down have you just tried to make a new claim (which would indeed be problematic) or have you challenged the decision via the mandatory reconsideration process and then appeal?

    Have you self-assessed i.e. looked online at the ESA points scoring system and decided which activities you ought to score points on and how many?
