Hi
I’ll be due for the dreaded brown envelope again soon and whilst I’ve kept an eye on B&W periodically, I’m sure I’ve probably missed out on some relevant issues!
Any Mod’s that are able to highlight areas that I’d be advised to brush up on, relating to both parts of ESA50, I’d be most grateful?
I’ve also discovered that, had those whose care I was in back when DLA first started helped me complete a claims form for DLA., it’s most likely that I’d have been awarded it indefinitely! I assume that there’s nothing that can be done retrospectively?
Many thanks

The ESA Descriptors and Regulations were updated in January so you should refer to the latest guides for the changes.
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa
If you are still within 13 months of the last Decision that awarded you DLA, then in principle you can make an appeal in regard to the award period, but you would have to provide Good Cause as to why the appeal is late, which may not be accepted, also you need to be aware that both the DWP and the Appeal panel can extend the revision to the full award if the believe it reasonable, so you may put your current award at risk.

True enough. Need to choose your battles.

Some people think it means forever but it is exactly the opposite.
