Thanks everybody. Went down there today after recieving another letter from Housing Office. Sorted them out and was able to pick up an income support form which is the route i will take and try to get money backdated. I know that it will take them weeks to sort out but its better than being in limbo struggling to put money in the electric meter. I will be looking for new doctor/practice but will do one thing at a time. It does actually take a long time to find. Thanks for the help i will let you know how it progresses. I used my friends computer and have bookmarked this website on her computer as she is having lots of hassle too after recovering from hospital surgery. Im sure that she will get good advice on here.

Thanks no i dont have any of the three listed. No savings the only money i had was the back pay from winning last appeal. I will try income support as i have no choice. I am still recieving Housing Benefit as it seems they cant cut me completely. Will that affect the forms i need to fill in? Thanks for being helpful i wont be able to get the other ESA as my doctor and i dont see eye to eye at all and ive been looking for a new surgery as he told me if i dont like it i can go elsewhere.

Thanks for replying. I am single and live alone. I wonder if i can backdate the payment til the time they stopped paying me as i have been using the money i had saved knowing that i would be put through this stress over again. Certainly learn how to be frugal with everything although i'm months behind on some of my bills. I suppose i have been put off with all that bureacracy of going to the social who ask questions i cannot answer as they wont really be resolved until the appeal has gone ahead. Ive had six letters off the housing since december. They are still paying but keep asking me what is happening as if i am in charge of the slow response from the social security department. They have squeezed the last drop of patience out of me. I darent go down there in person to speak to anyone as i think i will really lose my rag. ( I know not a good idea) I have sent them infomation and got reciepts and then two weeks later they ask for the information again.

Thanks for looking at this as so frustrating. Basically on incapacity benefit but after another medical been told that i dont have enought points. I have appealed and have been awaiting for a tribunal date. This has been going on for over six months. What happened that shocked me was that they did not reduce the level of payment they just stopped paying all together. As i assumed the tribunal would not take long although worried i was able to live of the back payment which was a large sum after winning a previous tribunal. (I have won two tribunals) However now that money is gone and i have relied on friends and family to help me with food and bills. I have not wanted to sign on at the jobcentre but now looks i will be forced too although not sure how this will affect my appeal. All the stress has exsparated my condition and have spent nearly every day and sleepless nights worrying about. Is it legal for them to cut all payment to me while waiting for an appeal? Is there anyway i can fight for them to pay me the reduced rate until appeal decision? This is my last chance as in my area it is impossible to get any advice from CAB as they are closed you have to wait months for an appointment.If anyone has been in the same position and have any helpful advice it would be most appreciated. It looks like i will have to attend my tribunal alone with no professional help which is intimidating enough. In the intervening months twice they have said we will look at your case again and then said you will still have to appeal as we agree with the decision. Thanks for reading.
