Nil income apart from PIP On-Going award. Enhanced

Hiya Gordon it's (battle esa2017) here, Yes I have changed my name Again hahah. I hope you well I've not been to good myself lately but I need you expertise in answering this. I know your gonna say dot panic or worry. Lol.

I just need a little advice just incase I have to go down this road? Please God I hope not...

Still waiting to start the process again...

At present im in the ESA Support group which is due soon as it's been nearly 4 years since my paper based assessment and placed in the Support group, I sent plenty of medical funcitional information on how it all affects me, and they've themselfs even stated on the ESA85a (deteration in function noted) mobility etc.

Now im under Consultant psychiatrist and have been for nearly 4 etc as for my mental health and self harming etc, I can't go into to much detail as I also have been diagnosed also with COPD stage 3 breathing like an old steam train, amongst other physical problems with some conditions are also life long and will only get worse with age and which will only deteriorate. I have paperwork from Consultants which explains all that within the letters I have.

Im scared if I loose my ESA and might have to go on Job seekers wich I won't be doing, hence cam I still get help as I will not claim that.

It might not even come to that but I just want to be prepare for the worse.

So as I recieve PIP Enhanced rate on daily living and mobility an Ongoing-Award from DLA indefinite, again PIP was all done on Paper Based with (Crapita) in November 2017 and they've also stated I won't get better and advised on the PA3 report in the review bit (it's not appropriate to review the claim) also refer FE explains all my issues and their opinion. To be honest I had a fair assessment (No lies) for wich I'm luck unlike most I've read here.

So now as im worried about loosing my ESA and I will not signing on for Job seekers because I ain't fit for work at all.

Then I will have no income apart from my PIP If I loose ESA I will be appealing the decision no matter how hard I have to fight, for which I have loads of medical history and functionality/functional information stating I don't cope etc very well and I also live on my own.

So based on the information I've posted above if it goes that far (what can I do regarding KEEPING MY ROOF over my head) and what to do if I have to go down that route of Nil income, my Council is Telford & Wrekin.

Thanks in advance Gordon for any info and help because I don't know like many of us what to do.

Gordon, I do agree with you I'm panicking again.its in my nature never used to be only since I have to rely on this bunch of cowboys.. I ought to slap myself, as I said I while ago they said when my support worker phoned December 17 it was in 2019 then changed it and said 2017 so a little confused again. Hanging in the air.

So with what they said set me off worrying again? You know me I will listen to you and try to stop worrying (bag of nerves).

As for UC going full here in November 18 so a fair while yet.

I'm trying to hold some money back just in case of a storm, at least as you've stated (You can receive Housing Benefit with nil income.) would that also cover CT also as I will manage on my PIP.

Also my rent is only £78 a week so it easier than some to find until I could do while waiting for a MR notice then get a Fit not then reapply assesment rate ESA till Appeal, I guess that would work.

If it goes this road do I contact the Council to apply for Nil income.

You know Gordon I can take you giving me a slap tooooooo. And I would never be rude because your right. Panic panic that's all we do. Lol.

Jesus Gordon sorry to hear this buddy.. As I've said to you in the past I will fight as hard as I can and record everything so no lies can be told just the truth, so hopefully I won't end up down that road I'd rather be in prison.

I used to work hard a my life and now have to really on them I've never ask for help in my life until my mid 50's I hate being under their spell.
