ESA to UC migration

Hi, I’ve recently been migrated from ESA to UC, I was in the work related ESA group but hadn’t seen a work coach in 6yrs. The last time I saw him I had to be helped out of the building and told I should be in the support group. I didn’t apply for this as the anxiety of it all was just too much. These past few years my health has deteriorated rapidly, on top of my bipolar and complex ptsd I now have fibromyalgia agoraphobia moderate arthritis of pelvis lumbar stenosis slac wrist & cervical stenosis. I’m 6 weeks out from having cervical disc replacement and needing the same operation on my lower back. I’ve been placed in lcw group and my coach just isn’t listening to anything I say. My doctors say I should be in the higher group aswell as my consultants and welfare rights. I’ve mentioned this to my coach today who totally dismissed it and said if I was to apply I’d lose the award I have and instead be moved further down. He’s now insisted I join the work well programme, I’m totally done in with all this. I can’t walk far even in the house. Occupational therapy have fitted rails all round my house because I’m prone to falls. Is there anything I can do about this?

Hi David, I would be interested in doing this. The County I live in is Lancashire. I’ve not stopped crying since my telephone appointment, my work coach just totally dismissed every single thing I said. I told him I have tons of supporting evidence but he said I should then work from home and if I try to go in the higher group I’ll be knocked down to basic. I honestly don’t have the strength for all this but I would be interested in making a complaint. Thankyou

Ok I shall do this David, Thankyou very much for all your help it’s appreciated
