ESA - REVIEW

mrfibrospondodysthmatic wrote: Hi to all,

Last april i was sent my ESA50 form to fill out for a reassessment. this was in april 2016.

Ive just received this weekend the reassessment for esa which will be in a 2 weeks time.

This is somewhat of a shock to me as i thought after the bbc's announcement last year that long-term chronicaly disabled people like myself and many others, would be excempt from future tory WCA's!

But obviously not! i can coiunt my blessings that its been 12 mth's since i returned my esa50 form to them. so ive had a years grace for whatever reasons. would have been sweet if they'd had left me alone end of!


My question is ... since ive given in all my info last year, things have changed as in regards to my physic & both mental illnesses. ie. ive not miraculously recovered lol, rather ive deteriorated somewhat for the worse.

Should i therefore just tell them this at my re-assessment. or should i try and get another updated letter of support from my GP?

As my GP who was fantistic and had empathy and compassion for me has just left my surgery. now i find ive no other doctor at my surgery who i can relate to and express how these continous wca's and pip reassessments are damaging my mental health further.

will i be able to take updated new evidence with me on the day of my.....JUDGEMENT.

i did write on the form last year i needed a home visit. as i do have incontenece of a frequent nature. but no joy of that just an assessment centre.

as my time is now very limited before im due to be judged once again, even after winning appeal after appeal. should i wear incontinence pads? or not? bearing in mind i rarely leave my home and for that reason i dont wear pads.

would wearing the pad downgrade me or go in my favour? as legaly in 2013 the juidge at my appeal said i didnt have to wear pads, as due to my incontenence i should be within as close as possible to have access to a toilette. and thats say like a couple of metres away.

so in realistic terms when i have spasms in my lower spine, id had wet myself even in my home attempting to get to the toilette in excruciating pain.

on a final note......... last year i was reassessed on pip, the report was full of lies lies & lies. i was stripped of my benefit, i managed to get reinstated for pip after my MR was successful.

i wanted to appeal against the now awarded standard rates of pip as previously i flew through my pip and was awarded enhanced rate for both components. i was suicidal and tried to take my life. As my mothers my carer this whole process has affected her health too and has made he quite ill.

now i find myself like many others having to go through this entire process again.

i hope the assessor whose going to assess me, will take notice of me and my doctors and specialist, who manage my chronic physic & mental pain. But i very much doubt it.

on that note i end with.. ... dont vote for the TORIES in the coming of the general election theyve lied repettive to us all and continue their persecution and agenda of ending benefits for the sick & disabled people in our society.

stopping benefits wont make people become healthy. only despair and an increase in suicides.

i'll let you know how i get on with my assessment.

thxs for reading.

Hi Mrfibrospondodysthmatic,

I have read your post a couple of times and can't believe we are in England in 2017.

They (the tories) are obviously not interested in your illnesses or disabilities at all, they just want to stop you from taking "their" money!
I hope the person who is ticking the boxes at your assessment has the ability to tick the correct ones.
Who could do that job, a tory maybe? I certainly couldn't for any money.

Good luck on your claim

thxs CRD,

For your comment on my post. i couldnt do the job, even with all their bonuses for doing it.

But someone will do it as money talks!

not to forget the assessing companies made over 250 quid in bonuses @ our misfortune.

And obviously their are people out there who are hell bent on destroying disabled /sick peoples lifes, and their families in the process.

looks like its a yearly thing to put us all through hoops again at the expense of our health both physical and mental.

ive been through 2 appeals ive won both, and won an MR too for my pip reassessment.

But they still continuously hound me and many others.

my brother whose very disabled had a recent assessment, the woman assessor asked if he was suicidal. he replied yes i am.

she replied why havnt you topped yourself?

Afew days later he tried to kill himself. he only survived due to a stroke of luck. he was even on a suicide watch team.

He awaits his assessment outcome any day now.

all those involved in bent assessment etc, should be made accountable for their actions.

the assessor should be named and shamed and stripped of assets. and made to pay compensation to the claimant.

this should also apply to the dwp, secretary of state/ and goverment too.

Even after winning all appeals theres never ...oh sorry we got it all wrong, or sorry for the pain we have caused you, and the continous pain you will have to go through as a result of our actions!

No they're a law unto themselfs and the majority of our countries population dont give a dam. given the fact anyone can become ill and or disabled for life through no fault of their own right?

my assessment is in a couple of weeks.

im already planning my Mandatory Reconsideration paperwork, and my appeal stuff too. even though i havnt had an outcome yet!

thats how little faith i have in the so called HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS.

sorry for the moan readers.
