Thank you after 5 months of anxiety my daughter now has pip enhanced and mobility and is still in the support group for esa. However on phoning the dwp to ask for a copy of the assessors report I was told her esa is still only for 3 years in spite of her having a lifelong condition, maybe the dwp believe there is a miracle cure for brain damage. I intend to write and ask why this is a d also write to my mp but would appreciate to hear from others regarding this. A bit of good news I have recently written to Frank Field regarding these assessments as he is chairing an enquiry. Delighted. He has written back asking to use my letter as evidence and for my phone number to discuss this. It as worth the energy it took.

Also, be aware that this is not an appealable Decision, so don't set your expectations too high on getting the decision changed.
