I have court date shortly after waiting 18 months after having a Mr. All my medical conditions for arthritis tintinus carple tunnel depression spinal degenerative disease were all diagnosed before my reassessment but they didn't seam to take this into account at the time as one can only walk about 30 mtrs with out stopping and can raise neither arm above my head difficult to dress and wash and have had earing aids to help with tintinus sinice. Hopping that because my conditions have deteriorated hugely since the court will accept them from the start. As all my medications have been increased to try to help my conditions and have had numerous hospital appointments since.

That is my thoughts as well. But after having to wait at no fault of my own my condition has deteriorated and was told as it was cb based esa I was not entitled to any benifit while awaiting court date. Also felt I couldn't not apply for jobs speakers as that would be surely at total contradiction after I no I'm not capable of work. Surely they have to put something in place for people in my position.0

If your not receiving PIP and you do the self test maybe that’s a route to try0

Unless you're placed into the Support Group at Tribunal then you won't be entitled to any money for ESA.Unfortunately, the worsening of condition rule still stands and the Tribunal won't take it into consideration.0

Yes I no cb esa only runs for 365 days unless your in the Sg. I'm get middle rate pip and have reassessment for that shortly as well due to the change of circumstances. I just feal very strongly from day 1 that I wasn't fully told of different types of benifit and there conditions. I only had 1 vista's to the job center in all the 12 months of my esa so thought I was not capable of work and was very surprised when the letter fell through my door in Jan 17 saying my esa was about to stop. This is when I began to question the system as at the age of 60 and working all my life this was all new to me. Will be seking advice for every dession from now on as my advocate as been very very helpful links since our introduction.0
