Hi and welcome

You should ask for a mandatory reconsideration, If you have further evidence then you should send it. MR's don't have a good success rate so be prepared to appeal to the tribunal

Hi @sinead88

Welcome it’s great to meet you today.

Yes both “PIP & ESA” are 2 different benefits in there own right’s.

There are other members who have/are going through the same situation as yourself.

Please please let me know if I can help/support you further????
