ESA tribunal

I asked for a paper hearing and all evidence has now been submittted to the courts from the DWP a nice 169 page bulkness. I don’t like my chances of winning. Included in the 169 pages is some of my evidence but other than a doctors letter saying how long I had depression and anxiety for and test scores to show how high they were it doesn’t really help much. I have no other medical evidence, and any other evidence i have submitted is just my words trying my best to question and argue what was wrote at the assessment. I wanted to know if the worst does happen and i lose the tribunal what can i do next would I be forced onto jobseekers or could i reapply for employment and support allowance or wouldn’t that be allowed.

If you are unsuccessful
You should ask for an SoR and record of proceedings, then get trained advice to see if an error in law is present. If there is you can then apply to the UTT
You can only re apply for ESA if you have a new or significantly worstened condition
You should check to see the status of UC in your area
Subject to this you may have to apply for JSA or UC
CR

I can’t see me trying to go against the courts if it comes to that, and ideally i would like to reapply for ESA but guess that won’t be possible even though have had these mental health conditions 17 plus years. I guess i will have to wait and see what the outcome is first.
