Hello Gordon I applied for ESA Dec 15... I was assessed in March 16 and kicked off ESA ... in the letter it said I was to well dressed,and had no muscle wastage. I don't suffer with muscle wastage.. but not at anytime did the man look up from the computer he also said that I could reach above my head, which I had informed him I could not do that and refused to do that. I did not appeal as at the same time my dad was taken ill. I have now gone back on ESA as my coach on job seekers to me I was not fit for work, I have fibromyalgia so struggling to fill in the form for the assessment. I am scared that they will kick me off it again as I don't look ill, not that that makes a difference... if I could work I would... as they make you feel like your begging.
