Hi @jhurst welcome to the community, I am very sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
Were you getting ESA for a different illness? You can reapply as your circumstances have changed. Take a look at the benefits calculator to see what you could be entitled to and what you should apply for.0 -
Hi@catriona
A very very big welcome to you.
Yes it is a good idea to put in for it again.
If you don't mind have things changed over the past two years.
Have you got anyone to help you with filling in the form ????
You can always contact our helpline !!!!!
The phone number is on the home page.
I have some info from our home page on Benetits/PIP.
