    Hi,

    What happened with the ESA Tribunal? Was the letter you received regarding this from the Tribunal and did it say you lost your appeal?

    Although Uc work capability assessment and ESA work capability assessment are the same they are different benefits.
    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.
