Worried about ESA Appeal Tribunal evidence was created by L Bowen
Hello, this is my first post on this forum. After a face to face work capability assessment in March, the DWP awarded me 0 points on all descriptors. Previously, I received ESA in the support group for a mental health condition I still suffer with. Thought I might be put in the work group but was shocked to be found with no limited capability for work! Applied for Mandatory Reconsideration but DWP decision stayed the same. Am now going to Appeal Tribunal but do not yet have a date (likely October). Have sent some evidence with advice from a welfare adviser but I am concerned that this may not be adequate. I want to make the most of this chance to get the DWP decision overturned and don't want to waste the opportunity. This appeal process is taking up all my thoughts and causing so much stress my mental health condition is getting worse - am having suicidal thoughts. Would be grateful for any thoughts or suggestions from other members. Many thanks.
