    I have just received my appeal decision letter. They have awarded me enhanced on both and extended my award to Sept 2024 instead of July 2022. I am so relieved.

    It sounds like you have sent in a lot so fingers crossed you get the result you need. If you don't then go for MR and if still no change then appeal. If you give up they win and thats what they want. I know its hard but if you get help from CAB they do the admin side of it and it takes the pressure off you

    Yes my report was full of lies. The assessor never mentioned the full blown anxiety attack I had. Claimed I got onto the couch and carried out all the exercises. I couldnt get on the couch and never did any exercises. For every descriptor she cut and pasted her answer from the first descriptor and used that answer for every descriptor. The appeal thankfully pulled her report apart and based their decision on my esa report and awarded me enhanced on both and a longer award. If you have your report then go through it and write what points you disagree with for every descriptor. Use words like I disagree with this because? Don't use words like the assessor has lied as that wont help. You have I think 28 days from the date the report was sent to you to lodge a MR which is a mandatory reconsideration. I did mine through CAB but I beleive you can submit a request for the MR online at gov.co.uk.They will take several weeks to reply especially at the moment. The decision maker will look at your case and decide whether to either up your points or to keep them unchanged. It has been pointed out to me in the past it is unlikely for the MR decision maker to change anything. Dont be disheartened by that. Once you receive the decision letter for the MR you have a set time to lodge a appeal. Hopefully by that time CAB will be open and they can help you apply for the appeal and guide you. If not see if there is a charity local to you who can advise. Do not give up. I know its stressful and hard but your truth needs to be heard. I am so glad I persisted with mine. When I read i had won my case I sobbed with relief because they beleived me. Good luck

    Ha ha I like that. It is all on computer they only have to click and send to the decision maker. Its better to habe your report so you can see what ia written and to keep it on file for yourself. I rang pip yesterday to see if they are sending me a letter detailing my new award and she told me dwp had written to the appeal board because they disagreed with the date. It was only one day out. Madness. But apparently I will receive the letter and back money Friday. Everything is a battle with them

    I know. But they are obviously in no hurry. I am on 2 Facebook groups for pip esa and all I am seeing is people who havent had a face to face but had a telephone assessment are winning and loads are winning tribunals as well. DWP must be fuming
