hi, this is now one month after my last posting; I met with my mp at open surgery and wasn't heartened by the fact that according to him, the 6 monthly follow up form for ESA is fully justified apparently in view of the astonishing rate of people wanting to decieve the government and claim money falsely by appearing to be sick. Apparently i wasnt included in this presumption at the time...............
You've reminded me of my JSA days when I was told that they are hardening up on claimants who are not willing to work, but strangely enough, I was never considered one of them.
Obviously your MP doesn't worry as much about people genuinely entitled to benefit as he does about people falsely claiming it; but good on you for trying.
