ESA - Support Group

If it doesn't rain, it pours! Recently completed my PIP claim pack and was awarded 0 points, thus not entitled to PIP. So, I've sent in a Mandatory Request with strong evidence, so l'm holding thumbs. The whole PIP claim has mentally exhausted me, and if my MR is refused, then I'll have to appeal - not sure if I will have the mental stamina, but hey ho.

So, the PIP was the rain - just checked my banking account and my ESA (Support Group) payments stopped back in October - nothing for November. I called the DWP to ask why, and apparently somebody stopped my ESA because it's due for renewal. I got no notification of renewal, so the person I spoke to reinstated my ESA until I reapply.

So that's the pouring bit ... on top of my complex PIP claim, I now too have to tackle a ESA claim - it's way too much for me to do, all in one go. I can't cope! How on Earth am I going to complete the ESA form after I am mentally exhausted by the PIP one? Arg!

So, my question is ... I've read that the ESA is the worst form to complete? True? If so, then I might as well just go boil my head now .

Any advice?

Thanks Gordon. Have downloaded the guide and will have a thorough read through. These things are getting harder and harder ...
