I saw my GP yesterday and he said they haven't contacted him about it but did show me a huge tray full of papers that he said were about appeals for ESA, he was obviously unhappy about it as he said he'd much rather spend his time trying to help his patients.
Thanks

I didn't have any medical evidence as my GP surgery wont give any letters unless the DWP request it. Since sending the form I've found a letter I have which states my diagnosis, do you think it would be worth my sending this now, if so how do I find out where to send it?

First of all, call Maximus they can tell you what is happening with your claim.

They can also give you an address to send your letter to.

I've only just had the DLA to Pip assessment where I was deemed not to be able to walk more than 20m and now I've got to go through it all again. What an utter waste of money. When I had my last assessment for ESA I was really bad and it was stopped. The one for pip was a load of lies, which is what worries me.
PIP And ESA have different criteria, for example; PIP is a walking test, ESA also considers your ability to self-propel a manual wheelchair, you don't need to use a wheelchair or to even own one for the usage to be considered.
