Esa stopping, should I find another Job? was created by Dappernapper
Hi, following my ESA assessment, a decision was made to stop my payments and NI contributions. I scored 6 points on there scoring system.
I'm employed and have been through the occupational health interviews and my employer cut my shifts from 12 to 10 hours and have tried to give me a less physical job.
I have AF and have had over 10 cardio versions and 2 ablation procedures.
Whilst in AF I'm very symptomatic.
I still have a very physical job and I'm unable to keep up whilst in AF.
My cardiologist doesn't want to cardiovert me again because I don't stay in sinus rhythm long enough. I'm having tests for a possible pacemaker or maze surgery both procedures should enable me to return to mywork.
Whilst I accept I may be able to do a less physical job elsewhere, I definitely can't carry out my current job.
So should I appeal, will they take this in to consideration?
I don't know wether I should resign.
I've worked for my employer for over 20 years with a good attendance record despite my AF.
Sorry long winded, and I know there are a people in this forum with bigger problems than I've got.
Thank you in advance for any help or advise.

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

Hi Dappernapper
I answered your other post first where I wasn't certain about your question.
Do no think you have less problems than others - if you have questions they are just as important as anyone else's.
Only you can decide whether to put in for a Mandatory Reconsideration, but as your condition is clearly impacting on your ability to undertake work at the moment, you might want to. Have a look out ESA and UC mandatory reconsiderations and appeals benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/esa Will they take into consideration your current issues and what the cardiologist has said? I would hope so - but I am not the assessor.
