Problems with ESA?
Do you need help making your way through the chaotic ESA system?
Is it vital that you get the correct decision?
Whether you are:
- making a claim
- being transferred from ESA to UC
- waiting for a face-to-face assessment (work capability assessment)
- asking for a mandatory reconsideration or
- lodging an appeal
our detailed and widely acclaimed guides, written by a barrister and a welfare rights worker, can make a dramatic difference.
