September 2018 in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

Hi I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety I can't leave the house and have panic attacks. I attended a assessment and didn't score any points. I rang dwp and I'm currently waiting for a call back to appeal against this. I'm not on any other benefit and i have no money coming in at all. I can't sign on because I can't leave the house. I don't have a clue what to do next. Due to the stress of all this I've had to have my medication increased and I hardly sleep due to worry. Please advise what to do next. Thank you
