    Hi and welcome

    You should ask for a mandatory reconsideration, If you have further evidence then you should send it. MR's don't have a good success rate so be prepared to appeal to the tribunal
    Be all you can be, make  every day count. Namaste

    Hi @sinead88

    Welcome it’s great to meet you today.

    I’m very very sorry ? 2 read your post.

    Yes both “PIP & ESA” are 2 different benefits in there own right’s.

    There are other members who have/are going through the same situation as yourself.

    Please please let me know if I can help/support you further????
