Sorry to hear your news, although I had a suspicion that this was what the call was about.

It's important the you confirm your appeal in writing, see

How long do I have to appeal?

How to submit an appeal


Our ESA Appeal guide is on the following link

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa

If you have any questions, please come back to the forum.

Thanks Gordon,

The lady said she would send me the appeal form along with a copy of the decision, i,m going to need all the help i can get for the appeal, i,m still in shock, i find it hard to believe that for 27 years iv,e been deemed unfit for work, all of a sudden they reckon i,m fit to work, my condition has only worsened.
Any help or comments would be much appreciated, as i don,t know where to start my heads in a spin.

The links I included in my previous post include a download link for the GL24.

In addition to having a look at the ESA Appeal guide, you should think about requesting some documentation from the DWP, see

ESA medical – what forms to ask for?
