Hi and welcomeYou 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 tribunalBe all you can be, make every day count. Namaste

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.
