Hi to all,
I went to my Assesment, I had to go to 5th floor in the lift after I was given a think it was a security badge.
I gave my letter in a reception and my passport I was then told I would be half an hour before I was seen so I used the time to go to the loo before I went in.
I was just coming out of the loo when a lady asked me my name I told her and was asked to follow her.
Went in and sat down she said this assessent was for E.S.A. and her name was Elverlyn she asked me about my health and I told her about my bladder and what was happening with it also about my bowel problems ECT,
And my arthritis and back problems each time I told her something new she said oh my god for some reason as if to feel sorry for me with how many problems I have she seemed nice enough I also told her about my depression regarding my weight she then asked me an unusul question of have I ever harmed myself n I said No I think too much of my family and grandchildren to do that.
It was a question I never expected her to ask it took me by surprise.
She asked if she could keep my hospital letter s n I said yes
As I had photocopied them.
I was their about an hour she said that I would revive a letter in about 2 weeks.
It wasn't as hard as I expected it to be n I felt quite relaxed
Talking to her I just hope I said enough to keep my E.S.A.

SG is the first criteria but there are other serious condition criteria to meet also.
You will be told on your support letter that you will not be required for further review
