    You need to get intouch with citizens advice and they will help you appeal. Did you not even have any warning of this happening? It's a disgrace..I read that people with anxiety will no longer receive pip ..but heard nothing about esa. This government no words to describe them.

    You can take it to appeal , i don't know much about how you go about it but if you go on to Benefits & Allowance Forum on here you will be able to get more information from other members who have or are going through the same as you , put the same posting you have here , you could pop into CAB as well for advice . I also tell people that if you can have someone to go with you so you have that Back up if lies are being put down , i had a Social Worker accompany me when i went for my ESA assessment so the woman doing the interview couldn't write down lies , the Social Worker even asked that we look at the computer screen to see what she had written , i hope you get some answers that will help you , no one with anxiety an depression should be made to feel that they are not worthy , to be honest an please do not take it the wrong way but at your age i cannot see many job opportunities , i am 53 an there is no way i could find employment because besides having depression an anxiety an no qualifications i also have arthritis in both knees which at the moment are making my legs painful so i would basically end up on the rubbish dump , please take care an i hope advice will be given to you to help you appeal this decision x

      It is important you have your say ,  fight your corner though i really appreciate that it is a tough battle , go onto the Benefits & Allowance forum on here , there are many helpful members who should be able to point you in right direction , if your family are understanding then they can help you , maybe your doctor can do a letter to help your case though you may have to pay for it , take a few days to ease your mind before you start your fight , clear your mind , please try an fight - get as many people as you can on your side , maybe a advocate from a local mental health forum if you have one in your area , if not see what CAB can suggest , please take care xx
