ESA LIfetime Award was created by Jamesy
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew if it’s possible for a lifetime award on ESA for mental health and learning difficulties.

We've only had one member report that there was no requirement for further assessment so far, receiving this for mental health is not impossible but we have no idea of how likely it is at this time.
One of the requirements is that there should be no reasonable prospect of your conditions changing, would this apply to yours?
