I attended my ESA assessment yesterday which was a real bad day for my Fibromyalgia and I was generally in pain and suffering from Fibro Fog   My daughter accompanied me and the doctor seemed genuinley concerned for my pain....   As we left he said to my daughter that he would recommend me as going into the support group but I dont believe him.......  I was denied PIP twice after the assessor seemed ok so do they lie to your face and write something different???  Or am I being paranoid?

      Yes appeal. There should be organisations who will help y. I had to appeal once and got someone from local Welfard Rights Group to represent me. He was excellent and I could not have done this one my own.

      Good luck, let me know how you get on.
