    I'm sorry to hear that, @Aisaiah7mum. Are you appealing the decision? You may like to join in with our ESA community discussions.

    Hi there.

    It might be a good idea to get a local face-to-face appointment with a benefits specialist if there is one. 

    This might help you to decide whether or not to challenge the negative ESA decision. It should also enable you to explore what are your current options. 

    Best wishes
