    They have a habit of re-assessing people just before they reach 65 i don't know if it's a coincidence or not but just seems rather stupid when your ESA will stop anyway once you reach 65.

    You'll soon be invited to apply for PIP, if that hasn't already happened. When you are invited make sure you fill out that form with as much information about how your conditions affect you as possible. PIP and DLA are different, PIP is about how your conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activities based on the PIP descriptors. Any relevant evidence you have will need to be sent with your form. Do some research about PIP so that you have some understanding of what the descriptors mean, that will help you.

    Good luck with them both.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    You can still request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. If you're given LCWRA then you'll receive an extra £328 per month payable from the 4th month of your claim from when you first sent in your first sick/fit note. If the decision is LCW there's no extra money per month.

    Good luck.

    Yes £328 on top of that but only if awarded LCWRA. It will be the first sick note sent for this claim.
