Hi , sorry I am new on here so please forgive the title . I have been on ESA for 15 yrs in the support group . I also get DLA , high for care and mobility and just had an assessment with them where they awarded me 10 yrs . I can’t believe I have to go through it all again for ESA now . Has anyone got any advice as to how I go about it so I don’t have to have another face to face interview ? Surely if you get DLA for 10 yrs and high for both you shouldn’t have to ? Any help would be really appreciated many thanks

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?


I'm afraid your DLA award will be of little help with your ESA reassessment, the criteria for the two benefits are fundamentally different and we have members who have the highest award for DLA that are able to work full time.

You will need the support of your GP to either get a home assessment or a Paper Based Review. The y will need to write to Maximus in unambiguous terms why you cannot attend at their office or that attending a face to face would cause you harm.
