  1. Hi thanks, its not permitted work i want to do. I want to sign off, see if i can manage and then sign back on for ESA again if the job is too much, I wanted to know if I would have to claim again from scratch
  2. Hi, I am currently claiming ESA. I want to try working and see how I get on. Can some one tell me, if I start work but I cannot manage it do I have to make a claim from scratch? Will the benefits people allow me to try to work with out penalising me. Thanks.
  3. Hi thanks for the reply. Is there anywhere I can find out how often or how many times I need to see my provider. Is there a set of rules they have to stick to on how often I must see them? The provider has obviously lied to me about the voluntary work being mandatory which I find unbelievable.
  4. Hi can some one tell me what is mandatory. I was told that I have to attend voluntary work that suits my illness, maybe work from home and also go on a course in the new year. he said this was mandatory. He told me that these are new rules and to ask citizens advice if I didn't believe him. I cant find anything on the internet that says what is supposed to happen. Thanks in advance.
  5. Hi, If a mum moved in with her grown up daughter and her two grandsons and the daughter claimed working tax credit for her and her two sons would the grandmothers income be taken into account with the daughters household income. Thanks in advance.
  6. Hi, I sent my esa50 in February. I requested a recorded medical on the esa50 form and there was no problem. I don't know if asking for the equipment delayed my medical though. You are right, the thought of the process makes me feel ill. I dread brown envelopes too. I am really dreading the medical day and wish I could win the lottery. Like everyone on here I would love to be getting up for work on Monday and being normal. Having holidays and most of all not having to jump through these hoops. Hey ho, keep our chins up x
  7. Hi, I have a recorded medical in two weeks so I will let you know the out come. I have letters from the surgeon and am on strong medication apart from that they just have my word against theirs that I am in pain. I'm not looking forward to it.
  8. Hi, If I have my medical recorded and I bring medical evidence to back up my condition and I answer all of the descriptors honestly as I couldn't sit or stand for half an hour or walk 50 metres without pain then what are my chances of being put in the WRAG group. Has any one lost their ESA after having a recorded medical.
  9. During the Industrial Injuries medical everything you say is written down then read back to you and you have to sign to say you agree, this would be a better system for ESA. Why are the systems so different. This would save a lot of people asking for reconsiderations and tribunals.
  10. Thank you both, I will just have to wait and see. I'll update when its all over. I will send it back at the last possible moment. I am waiting for a result from an Industrial Injuries medical so if thats good news I will be able to use the results in my new ESA50.
  11. Hi, I have a new ESA50 to fill in before the end of November. I have been in the WRAG group for some time now after going to tribunal the first time after a looong wait. Can someone tell me how long it takes from when I return my ESA 50 for ATOS to arrange my medical now. Will they contact me by phone or letter to arrange an appointment. I just want them to leave me alone until after christmas, I have butterflies just thinking about it all again. How quickly will they move once they receive my ESA50. Thanks. SJ
  12. Hi. Can you just clarify this for me please. If you are waiting for a reassessment then you do not have to send in Doctors certificates. I have just received a new ESA50 to be sent back before 30 th Nov. Will I carry on getting my ESA until I fail my medical. Then I presume I will have to send in Doctors notes until my tribunal. So if I keep asking for a recorded medical I will carry on receiving my ESA without a medical. I am just dreading going through all of these hoops again. Does anyone get awarded ESA without a medical but just by your supporting evidence with your ESA50. My medication alone should rule me out of being able to work. Thanks in advance. SJ
  13. Thank you. I asked for help a little while ago for breathing space. I am already on interest only and the building society said they could not help me with a mortgage break at that time. I have just been informed by them that my interest only deal is ending and unbelievably my new payment is £20 per month less. I dont understand it but you would have thought they would have told me this when I was asking for help. I shall ring round a few places tomorrow and see what I can do. Thanks for all the advice.
  14. Thanks for your reply, Yep thats what we want to do but the place we want is £190,000 and thats only a 2 bed flat where we live. With costs it would mean we needed to still borrow a bit and thought that wih all the equity and never being behind in payments they would just let us port the mortgae but no luck. Never mind, the government say there is help for people getting into trouble but in reality there is not much help until your actually in a big mess.
