    Hi @budgie,

    Welcome to Scope's online community! :)

    I'm sorry to hear about the problems you've been having with ESA - it sounds like a really tough time for you.

    Have you considered appealing against the decision? We have lots of information about mandatory reconsiderations and tribunals on our website, which might be of interest to you.
