Just saying hi, @redstony, and welcome to the community. We're glad to have you.

Hello @redstony. I'm very sorry that this is coming to you rather late at night. I would have preferred to respond much sooner.
I am very, very sorry to hear of your struggle and concerns, and hope that we may be able to help you. It is quite possible that your post will soon be moved to a part of the forum that will be a better location for you, but in the meanwhile you might want to check out some of the links printed in white on the purple background lower down the page. Because you mention ESA in particular, I'm going to slot in here the link to 'Employment issues, finances and ESA
https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/benefits-and-finances
Have a look and see if there's anything useful.
In the meanwhile, stay in touch. We're a safe, friendly place where you can say pretty much anything you want and ask anything you want, and - though we may disappear for a few hours - we're here and listening.
Warmest best wishes to you, always,

Hi @redstony, and welcome! I've moved this post into our ESA category where hopefully our members will be able to advise.
