    yes last assesment i had in 2015 for incapacity to esa wasnt good got no points by assesor even though it was obvious i was dissabled to a point but dwp overturned her report and gave me 18 points (15 was needed)  i was 64 then and due to reach state pension a month after so maybe they took this into consideration,i also never had my mri scan results which showed severe back problems,but since ive got a copy this has made all the diffrence as my pip assesment lady said it shows my back is a mess,and with my struggle to get around its obvious i have problems,the hospital has made me a back support belt which helps a great deal as its moulded to my mishapen back,together with tramadol pain killers which help slightly..
