  1. Hi guys, Thanks for the replies so far. I just got a letter yesterday from the mental health team. The receptionist gave me an appointment for 2nd of april, that was the earliest appointment. should i send the letter to e.s.a. I think it would help with my claim and one more thing, do you know the way i have to wait 4 weeks to be seen by a c.p.n will they wait for that diagnosis from the mental health team. And 2 other can i get a social worker myself or do i have to go through the mental health team? should i call with cruise and get a confirmation letter, to say that im waiting for an appointment. And finally i am going to write a letter to esa to explain how my depression has got worse since october do you think that would help? your replies are appreciated thanks guys.

I was sent for an accessment medical in october 2011 wich i attended the dr gave me 0 points the medical seemed so clinical i hadnt had counselling at the time so i appealed but still hadnt had any help just medication the appeal was upheld and denied I took a representative with me to the appeal and he told me i needed to get a social worker, be accessed by the mental health team which ive never been anyway i did a rapid reclaim for esa on feb 25th 2012 over the phone btw i live in northern ireland now this time and since last october when i went o the first medical for esa my depression and anxiety has got worse so has my panic attacks they all stem from my mums death 6 and my dads with in a few years of each other i looked after both of them and the rest of my sibblings left me into it long story but ive been the victim of domestic abuse, and sexual abuse when i was younger im ashamed of even putting that down here.and was in a violent relationship for 3 years my partner and myself split up nearly 3 years ago im gay and he beat me black and blue i was left in some terrible states but i suffered in silence the same way my mum was when she was alive with my father my intict is to put other people first and myself last i was also raped twice by a family member and once by my ex partner its too long too go into now just in the past 3 weeks ive been referred to the mental health team for proper accessment and ive been to cruise the bereavement charity i feel like my life is not worth living and get into panic and anxiety cycles which are hard to reak i put barriers up with friends and make excuses not too see them and cancel or not attend at least three quarter of my appointments with drs ect i cant manage to get out of bed most days and havent cleaned my house properly in a year or more i wash dishes usually after they are all used and dont wash my hair for up to a week at a time im i miss my mum so much that i dont make an effort anymore i used to have a good life had decent friends and i would never of gone out of the house without straitening my hair and styling it and if it took an hour then it had to be done i dont care anymore about wether i bath or get out of bed in the morning and when i go out i use the corner shop or tesco down the street my dr is a few streets away and my post office and bank are at the bottom of my street i dont like meeting people as i want to avoid them as i have a lot of shame in not looking after myself ive put on 4 stone in weight i used to be 12 and half stone and am now 17 stone 2lbs i have lost touch with my family and old friends and my memory is so bad in recent months that i used to have a photographic memory i just dont know whats happened me im 30 and i want my life back i want to get better i dont want to be on benifits forever i want to do something with my life but i just dont see a light at the end of my long tunnel and its getting longer by the day i got a letter from my dr today it was left for me and it says sir or madame my patients depression/anxiety is getting worse then he signed it.will the letter i got from the dr help with my rapid reclaim?im worried sick and cant sleep at night the dhhs wont give me a crisi loan i got a payment from esa on 22nd of feb i have run out of money for food and electric is there any way i can get other crisis loans from the dhhs ive also been told to get a social worker which i have to say i do need i need support to get this horrible depression lifted i also have a bad back which im seeing a physiotherapist for would all my appointment letters help and the letter from the dr anf mental health team help if i sent them to esa would it stregnthen my claim i dont want to claim esa forever just until i get stronger and get the will to live again i dont understand people like street drinkers getting dla and mobility to help them with their drink problem this countrys system is the wrong way around and i havent asked for help before only now?what do you think my chancesare of getting esa without going to a medical and does anybody think i might have a chance of applying for dla for personal care while i get stronger so i can eventually get back to work i had a good life once and i want that back im a decent guy as my names says and its taken me some guts to write this im sorry its been so long and i appologize for my puntuality your answers and suggestions would be so very appreciated you dont know how grateful i am thank yougenuine-guy
