Hi, my name is Debbiewalsh!

Debbiewalsh

looking for advice about recent ESA Claim being denied.  Last month I was awarded PIP after being 'in' DLA.... so how the DWP can now turn me down when I've been claiming this for so many years is beyond me ?
I have disabling chronic back pain and having to fight this once again  as I have been to tribunal twice in the past is beyond my capabilities... I simply feel I haven't the strength to keep having to fighting them for it... it drains me ?grateful to hear of other people's experiences please and any advice would be so very much appreciated!

Hi @Debbiewalsh

Good Evening it’s great to meet you this evening.

I am very very sorry ? to read your post.

Both PIP & ESA are completely different benefits.

“PIP” has 2 components 

1. Daily Living.
2. Mobility.

“ESA” is linked to your “ability to work”
