In The Name Of Fairness (?)

Good evening everyone.

I feel that I should share my experiences with you all and perhaps allay some fears and worries, both of which I had felt prior to using the Benefits System and particularly ESA.

I completed my ESA50 form with the aid of this site and many re-written rough answers. With the ESA50 I enclosed a copy of an enquiry form that was requested by the DLA and completed by my MS nurse.

This was sent to ATOS by the required date. After a few weeks I telephoned ATOS to enquire how the process was going. A gentleman informed me that an assessment was not required t this stage and that my papers were returned to the DWP.

I waited for a while and contacted my BDO. I was informed, after several other attempts, that I had been placed in the Support Group with a prognosis of three years.

This was a new claim and not a migration from another benefit. I felt it would be beneficial to let other B &W users know that the system does work, albeit on occasions, it does work.

Thank you and good luck to you all with your applications.

Thank you for passing on your good news
