in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Hi my name is Julie, 13 months I failed my ESA assessment, and appealed and only now has my tribunal come to court later this month. Unfortunately where I live I had to go on universal credit, and again had to go through the same thing recently failing another assessment, even with another medical condition. Y question is if I won my tribunal what would happen because they said I couldn't go back on ESA after being on u.c. Is it worth going to the appeal at all!

    Hi,

    This is complicated because the ESA decision came before the new work capability assessment, which also found you fit for work. The Tribunal decision won't overrule the new work capability assessment unfortunately.

    When you were found fit for work for ESA how long after that did you claim UC?
    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.

    @Dulsongreen Forgot to add also that you won't be able to go back onto ESA because you've claim UC.
