I have just been informed my ESA has been stopped following a recent assessment. Non of my conditions have given me any points and I am now deemed fit for work. I have type 1 diabetes, depression, and following a work accident 7yrs ago, loss of an eye, hearing loss, balance problems, ptsd, and I am taking morphine for pain relief.
I was assessed this time by a psysio but previously a DR assessed me and I was awarded the benefit.
Help.

Welcome to the site/online community.
I'm very very sorry to hear of your problems with your PIP assessment.
We have got a Benefit Advisor on our home page where we have got a Benefit Advisor & lots & lots off info that would be very good for you to start with.
Next we have got a very active online community which is also ideal for you to be honest.
Please please let us know if you need any further help/assistance. -
Hello @james1066 and welcome to the community.
Have you requested a mandatory review?
It is likely you will need to take this to appeal, but need to request the mandatory review first. Instructions on how to do this and by when should have been included in the letter informing you of the decision.
If you have any questions about this it will probably be quicker to post it in the ask a benefit advisor folder.As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change! -
Hi all I'm new to the site. Got many health problems and i worry constantly and the dreaded medicals always requested to prove that you have a health condition/conditions. I'm trying to avoid going to the centre and requested a home visit

I hope their advice is useful to you.If you have any other questions, then please do get in touch!Liam
