  1. It's made me very sceptical to go from 0 points to support group. He was told the call was recorded but I feel something is amiss. My husband did got through the eating and swallowing problems while on the phone but I can't see how they can change their mind so quickly.
  2. Hello, I had an ESA medical assessment on 31st March 2016. I am recovering from mouth cancer which was diagnosed in 2014, I had radical neck dissection, floor of mouth replaced and 3/4 of my tongue removed. I will put off eating as I struggle to move food around and swallowing is very hard, and communicating is almost impossible as my speech has been severely affected. My husband received a call from a Decision Maker today (I am unable to talk or be understood), he was asked if I had deteriorated since assessment which he answered no. He was then informed I scored 0 points and was not eligible for ESA and I could ask for a reconsideration but wouldn't receive any money and I would have to claim JSA. My husband said he did not agree with the desicion and I couldn't claim JSA as I am not fit for work, he said most of the from didn't apply to me I am only affected by eating, swallowing and communication, he gave some examples, then they completed changed their mind and said I am to stay in the support group with a review in 24 months. Is this unusual? I cannot believe in a 10 minute phone call I can go from 0 points to being in the support group. I'm worried my payments will stop.
