in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Well I've just come home from having my ESA assessment,I must say the lady I had was lovely.Went better than I thought I didn't have to do any activities ,and she said she had enough evidence so I didn't answer many questions.Its just a waiting game now,will hear apparently in a few weeks.I am mentally and physically exhausted now :-)

    Glad it's all over, for now. If you live in the UK ring next week to ask for the assessment report to be sent to you, this will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.
    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.

    Don't have have to start a new discussion everytime you have a question. You can ask it on another thread that you created.

    No, the number on the appointment letter is for the health assessment providers. You need to ring DWP/ESA and this is the number. 0800 169 0310
