    Hi @cloe1

    A good place to start is the Law Centres 

    We have a lot of information about appeals here, let us know if you have any particular questions.

    So with ESA did you have to appeal too? What was the outcome of that?

    There is lots of information here about PIP appeals, is there anyone who could support you with this? A family member or friend?

    Perhaps you need to go and see your doctor again to explain more? Do you see any other medical people? Consultants/nurses etc?

    and i was under an ot last year who did a massive report saying how i would struggle to hold down a job but the problem with that service is that once they helped me they close my case

    You could try calling the Scope helpline on 0808 800 3333 and speaking to one of our helpline staff?
