I was sent an ESA50 form to fill in 20th July; returned it 2nd August; had an assessment on 3rd October; and received my result today, two weeks later - staying in the support group. I have been on Incapacity Benefit/ESA for nearly 30 years now, and only had two medical assessment in that time - the last one being about 20 years ago. When I was moved onto ESA 6 years ago, I had a paper-based assessment and was placed in the support group, so I was very anxious about going for the medical. I had a young male physio assess me, and he couldn't have been nicer. He told me he really didn't think anything would change, but until the letter arrived today, it was very much on my mind. Thank you again for all the support and advice you offer.
