I’ve received my ESA50 to fill by 28/4/17 I keep looking At it and just don’t know where to start. Could I copie my PIP answers onto this form. I’ve been on support group for 2 years now, I’ve work all my life until 2016 now I’m not fit to work all I seem to do is fill in forms. Because I always worked I can’t get free anything I pay for prescription and eye care at a cost of £400. I was on the high rate for care/mobility and then pip came in I was placed on standard for both. My assessment was a joke the lady didn’t know what my illness was( P.E pulmonary embolism ). I ask her what her career was she said a Nurse. On the report there was so many lies, it’s a good job my husband attended with me or I would think I was at a different assessment. My GP wrote a detailed health report so I could appeal. I was award mobility- high and care-standard. I’m appealing waiting to go to a tribunal I’m so stressed and can hardly sleep with all the worry they’ve placed on me. Please please help me. Thank you Bernadette
There are only a few areas of overlap between ESA and PIP and even where there are the criteria is different so you need to cautious of copying from your PIP form in case you don't actually address the ESA Descriptors.
Re your prescriptions , etc. have a look at the following
