ESA and PIP was created by Natalie Sparks
Hi,
My partner has been involved in two car accidents which have made her bedridden only able to do a few things. We did try and go for PIP but was only offered the basic rate as it seemed when we told the adviser we had a massive house with a few ensuites she seem to ignore us stating she was a nurse and tramadol I was taking was mild. Due to my partner working early rill late we missed the final paperwork for tribunal. Now SSP has stopped and one person stating that we have to fill out a massive questionnaire again the other letter states that we just have to sign how is it that both pip and esa advisers keep giving incorrect information. The whole thing is extremely frustrating and would anyone be able to help is out as we gone from having a excellent cash flow hence the house to one salary which puts so much pressure on.
We would move but Natalie son lives with us and have no got enough for another deposit to rent in advance.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

When you last posted you were looking for help with a PIP appeal, I'm not sure from your post whether you have progressed this or not.
Are you now trying to make a claim for ESA?
If you are then your wife will need to complete an ESA1 form in order to make the claim and if that is accepted, an ESA50 to explain her problems with the ESA activities
If you can be more specific about the help you need then we should be able to provide more advice.

Gordon,
We have been awarded pip at low rate and would like some support in applying again. The appeal never even got started as we missed the date for submitting documents to support my partner need.
We have been asked to submit documents to prove I have been sign off work and my employer can't pay me anymore SSP.
We have the ESA50 form which we would also like so help and advise in how to fill this in.
Thanks

First the PIP.
You say you missed the date for submitting documents, do you mean that you missed the normal one month to request an appeal, or that you lodged an appeal but were unable to submit any evidence?
If the former then you can still make a Late appeal up to 13 months after the date of the Decision but you will need provide Good Cause as to why the request is late.
As you appear to have an award, you cannot make a new claim for PIP until your award ends, your only option would be to ask to be reassessed on the basis of a deteriorate condition, but you may need to show that this has happened. You also need to be aware that this would be a full reassessment of your claim, new PIP2 and almost certainly a face to face assessment.
As to the ESA, it sounds like the DWP need a copy of the SSP1 form from your employer to show that your SSP has ended, you should speak to your Human Resources department about this.
As to the ESA50, there is are ESA Claim guides on the following link.

Gordon,
PIP
I would hope we get another chance as they did not request any further medical information they just used a discharging letter as medical proof added to the fact they provided us with the wrong information and proved they don't understand my issues. How could we get this process restarted.
I have sent ESA the employer documentation but I worry that they will feel that Natalie can work which at present she can't.
Any advice you can offer would be great

I'm afraid their requesting any further information is not reason for "another chance".
Forgive me I'm unclear as to what process you want to restart, do you mean an appeal?
If she has Fit Notes saying she is unable to work or restricting her working then this is all that is needed at this time for a claim of ESA.
