in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
ive just come back from my esa reassessment i asked for a female which i got i was put in a separate room i was absolutely petrified its took me nearly 4 weeks to prepare even to come out the house the lady i saw was ok  she went through all the questions with me told me i was there to check if things were the same or had gotten worse she photo copied my letters as back up and said she would send to dwp i am in a support  group already the lady walked me to the door and to the car where my son was she told me between 2 and 6 weeks wait for a reply i am glad its over and done with just have to wait now  and really do not know what to think as she was not giving anything away  just thought i would share with you thanxs
