Hi everybody , I have a new problem .

   Despite my many medical issues which have caused my seizures I now have had my ESA benefits stopped , this has caused even more seizures because of the stress .

​   Does this type of seizure qualify as a disability . Also has anyone else had this problem trying to appeal the medical assessment for ESA/Universal credit ?

   I would really appreciate any advice on this matter .

​                Many thanks from Janet .

      Hi Michelle , thank you for the reply . I am waiting for my tribunal date for my ESA claim . Despite having NEAD , heart , chest and sleep disorders I still need to fight the system , the DWP have made far too many mistakes in their statement yet they are refusing to accept all my doctor's reports including tests which proved I have NEAD and excessive sleepiness . Since last April when the ESA was stopped I have had increasing seizures due to the stress .

      I hope you get your case sorted soon , best wishes from Janet .
