I agree with MHB you should seek help, are you under an incontinence proffessional, because i think Atos only accept evidence from a proffessional, good luck to you .

You are entitled to appeal the ESA Decision, although it will take time and won't be easy, but you should be entitled to the ESA Assessment rate while you wait for a hearing.

Have a look at our ESA Appeal guide

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa

and have a look at the following FAQs

How long do I have to appeal?

How to submit an appeal

You might also want to try and get elp with your appeal.

Where to get advice?
