Hi Fellow Sufferers, I have been diagnosed with Weber Christian Disease (fat necrosis in thighs, knees, shins & hips, extremely painful), Fibromyalgia, Hypertension, Restless Legs Syndrome, Occipital Neuralgia, bulging discs, IBS & irritable bowel. I take 270mg of Gabapentin a day as well as other meds. I had 12mths of hell last year appealing a decision on ESA which said that I was fit for work even though I had letters of support from my GP & Consultant! I eventually won at a tribunal in December last year & was placed on WRAG. I have just received a ESA50 & am dreading having to go through it all again!!!!!

Please be aware that the ESA Descriptors and Regulations have been updated since you were last assessed, so make sure you are using the latest guides.
Good luck and if you have any questions on the changes, please come back to the forum.
