Hi

ESA isn’t about a diagnosis, it’s how those conditions affect your ability to do any type of work.

Hi @Pablohsgshshsh and welcome to the community! That must have been a shock to have a diagnosis for two years and then have it changed, how are you feeling about this? Like Poppy has said, ESA is not based on the diagnosis. FND and NEAD are both real conditions- hope you continue to get the correct support

We recently rang dwp and addressed his tribunal dission not not to reassess for 12 months from date of the letter two days later received a letter stating they had cancelled my appointment and not to attend no other correspondence as of yet does this mean they are leaving the case till the 12 months has lapsed thanks

Best thing to do is ring ESA and ask them and they will be able to tell you what's happening.
