Denied ESA - few questions

mt wrote: Its mid October.
Unfortunately I'm not sure what I scored points on previously to be found unable to work, although I will have a look through my paperwork and see if I can find anything that relates to the previous decision which upheld my claim. As yes, it is still the same health issues that prevent me from working.
With regards to medical evidence I'm not sure what I could provide as it's depression and anxiety that are my main health issues. Although I have had my medication changed several times since October last year, as it was clear that what I was on, was not working and I've also been referred to talking therapies. And my doctor has issued my fit notes since my ESA claim was denied, without issue.

Appeals are not always about supplying new evidence, it's about showing that you meet the criteria for an award and this is what you should concentrate on. Although you can mention changes in your conditions and treatment that have occurred after the Decision you are appealing, the Tribunal panel cannot take these into account when making their Decision, so you need to stick to explaining how you were and not how you are.
