Wish him luck! ESA Appeal today

Soneedhelp, are you going to appeal?

Don't feel alone, the guides and support on this site are brilliant.

Best wishes,
Rachel

Thanks everyone for the kind wishes. 'Soneedhelp' dont give up and I aprpeciate your feelings of despair - but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Well done the both of you... It's a shame your absolute horror story can't reach a wider audience just to show people what a evil lot the Government/DWP/Atos are ...

Inadvertently thinking OH's decision would be support group - considering he is tbh - pretty useless for anything at the minute he received his DWP letter stating he is in WRAG and should expect some interviews etc. Oh my god - that was it! what a state he's in. He just wants to pack everything in, but we cant afford to do so. He's already said he wont go through any more for care/mobility which he was advised to do by Welfare rights people as he just cannot take this stress.

Can anyone shed some light as to what and how often this will happen. He did have to attend Pathways about 2 years ago when first on ESA and they (after 2 visits) told him not necessary to come back - is it the same?

Why do they not give people a single chance to get their lives back to some normality!!!????? when they may eventually be in a position to look for work? What they do now does not help one little bit and in fact ends up seriously affecting the whole family unit to different degrees - I'm getting so stressed with all the hoops and paperwork and the affect it is having on OH that I am cracking up, my lads are taking the brunt of OH's frustrations...........oh it just never seems to end.

Hi Maximus, unfortunately people don't get in the support group on points, they have to fulfil one of support group criteria.

Have a read through the Pathways information on this site. Hopefully your husband wont have to go through more than one and that could be done on the phone.

Unfortunately, he could receive another ESA50 at any time.

I'm sorry you are having such a horrible time.
