Hello, Im new here and I need help,

I suffer from anxiety/depression, hyperhydrosis and agrophibia . I am currently in the work related group of ESA since 2012 but they are increasing the pressure on me and its making my conditions worse. now I have been sent a capability for work questionaire and a mandatory prepare for work interview, Now Ive been for a couple of interviews before but I find them highly distressing and the jobcentre have said I can do the interviews over the phone but now this one is mandatory.

I am very worried this new questionaire will mean I am kicked off esa and we have already suffered hughly from the benefits cap which has seen us lose 80% of our housing benefit.

I have tried to claim pip but I was rejected.

I want to try and get into the support group but citizens advice told me its a big risk as I could then be kicked off all together !!

What is the advice here please help, I just want to be left alone to try and live my life without fear.


Thanks.

If you have been sent a Capability for Work questionnaire (ESA50) then your claim is being reassessed any way.

You need to complete the form in detail and supply evidence to support your claim even if you have sent it before.

Have a look at the ESA Claim guides for information on how to qualify for the Support Group.
