Pip and asa
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have just had to go for a medical reveiw in August for my PIP it was extended until 2020, now just over 2 months later I was sent out an esa form and I am really worried I won't get it. My phycologist and doctor have gave me letters to send and wrote on the forms that they could be contacted if needed, I have PTSD GAD OCD and Aggrophobia. The thought of having to back up the town again terrifies me never mind what will happen if my money's stopped, I know they are 2 separate benefits I have been told this many time, but because got my PIP extended would that help me with getting esa. My doctor and phycologist say I am not fit for work, but I've been told that's irrelevant as it's not up to them so I am in panic mode. I sent the form away yesterday it's has to be back to them for the 18th December, so. I'm also worried my money might stop. Thanks. LesleyAnn

Hi Lesley Ann know this feeling so well I've just been for a medical for my pip I don't know how long that takes to come back how long did it take you may I ask for a reply and I have an assessment for esa next week they are two totally different departments and unfortunately just because you get pip does not mean that you don't have to attend an esa you can get esa without pip and you can get pip with out esa so I've found out

I’m afraid they are 2 completely different benefits. It’s also very rare for them to contact anyone for any medical evidence, hopefully you sent evidence I. Yourself to support your ESA claim. Are you in a group st the moment or still on assessment phase? There’s no timescales either as to when you’ll have the assessment. Most people have assessments, so it’s worth bearing that in mind. Hopefully you’re not waiting too long. Good luck.
