quick question denise please me esa due to end in march will i have to fill in new form or will they send me renewal form one minute dwp says runs out in 2020 then next say march this year never know wat to think with them no more

With ESA it's another ESA0 form and not a review form. Each ESA review is classed as a new claim.

thanks denise o well stressful few months for me lol

You're welcome. Yes it's stressful indeed. Hopefully everything will be fine. Good luck Ross x

well got text from dwpsaying we recived ur form and we may need u to contact u again if we need a health professinal to see u to decided ur claim ie in in other words medical being turned down and appeal again why do dwp do this,and why do some not even go for medical, i know someone who didnt go for medical for pip and they got it even though they lied about somethings on form and got pip it so amazes me people like that get it so anyoyed

The text you recieved means, they recieved your form and nothing else. I'm guessing this is for PIP as you said your ESA is due in March? Most people need an assessment and if they don't then it's rare.

As for comparing yourself to others then i'm sorry but it's wrong, you shouldn't do that. You can't compare 2 people because we're all different. I don't believe for a minute that someone could lie enough to get an award without an assessment. PIP isn't an easy benefit to claim and there's probably less people playing the system than there was with DLA.

Hopefully you sent in evidence to support your claim and when you go for that assessment make sure you tell them in as much detail how your condition affects you daily.

PIp isn't about a diagnosis. Good luck.

yea hospital letters and all that but thanks anyway denise for advice

Hi Ross

The text you received I'd a standard DWP template they just put the customers name in and send it out .

As Denise said it's just so you know they've got the form and its not lost in the post. It's very rare not to have a f2f interview, normally only happens in cases of mental health issues like severe psychosis or for terminal illness.

Take care

Even those with mental health issues mostly have assessments, so i disagree with you there. My daughter has mental health issues, i sent in over 40 A4 pages of evidence, yet she still had an assessment.

In a lot of cases mental health can be the hardest conditions to prove.

For those with a terminal illness the special rules only apply to those with a disagnosis of 6 months or less, if this is the case then a DS1500 is needed from a GP or Consultant.

Denise I meant special rules cases and dangerous psychosis as PIP can be claimed even by those who are judged dangerous to society.

I meant this small group of people not those with mental health issues in general as I appreciate how hard it is to prove anxiety,depression, OCD and learning difficulties etc

However if it would be dangerous for an assessor to undertake a face to face it would be done by paper and doctors reports.

Hope that clears up my point 😊 x

my brother was diagnosed with cancer in jan 2016 non terminal.his pip form were filled in by his mcmillan support worker, he did not have a f2f assessment and was awarded higher rate care and mobility for 3 yrs.

Which was why i said most people have assessments.
