ESA50 Wording

Thank you LL26! I appreciate that.

I had a home visit from the GP and she is referring me to a psychiatrist however, she's not referring me for autism BUT she has said she will mention this in her referral. So I'll mention something about it in the form.

I was actually so relieved when I saw the GP came, I was expecting another GP to not listen or take my trauma and mental health seriously, but it was quite the opposite! She's new to the medical centre so I think I'll be speaking to her from now on about any health problems. She understood how anxious I was, I was literally stuttering and got a bit upset during the appointment but she was lovely.

I do lack confidence in myself, but I will do as you've suggested, Welfare Rights have offered to help but I'm a bit weary after the PIP fiasco.

Thanks again, this forum is another place that surprised me in a nice way, I had tried a certain disability forum but the people were a bit abrupt and rude to each other on there so I ended up asking them to delete my account.

I'm really glad that I joined

I missed Gordon's post, thanks Catherine.

Yeah, I recall reading somewhere that they tend not to give extensions for ESA forms, thanks Gordon.

My son is going to give me a hand with it, we are going to do it a bit at a time so I don't get frustrated/overwhelmed.

I'm still kind of shocked at how helpful the GP has been, I'm not used to that, I'm used to being fobbed off a lot which is partly why I don't have any up to date medical evidence, it seems that if you try treatment and it doesn't work, the GP's give up, at least mine have.
