esa roundabout

hi gang

 

i just got my decision back from the esa work capability assesment and im not entiteld to esa but i got 6 points this time

 

this is my second time on the esa benefit as i reapplyed after loosing it at tribuneral last time ,

 

ive got depression and hand problems after accident at work ,

 

i dont know is it worth appealing again or just go for jobseekers ,

 

there so called health professionals are good at lying on there reports

 

im going to ask them to look at decision again before i appeal ,

 

but if i appeal now i dont know if iwill get my benefit as i herd it was changing and not paying people on appeal ,

 

thanks

They're still paying on appeal. if you make a claim for jobseekers, you may not get it, due to being unfit for work.

Appeal.Do not let them grind you down.

My reading of this situation, is that if your GP states you are unfit to work then JCP will not want you on JSA. You will therefore have to go through the silly ESA system, for as long as you are unfit to work. i.e register for ESA, get assessment rate, attend assessment centre, be declared fit for work, see GP, if not fit for work, make new ESA claim. Only if you are fit for work with no GP sign off, can you make a JSA claim.
