ESA APPEAL

gilly1957

Hi all, not been on for ages..

Iv got my esa appeal on the 14th June and im terrified, any advise will be most welcome, i dont think i will get through it, but who knows.

I have osteoarthritis/ degenerative disc disease in my lumber spine, making it painful to sit,stand,walk and bend. my GP says the pain i get in my elbows,knee and feet is also caused by OA.

My GP was asked to fill in a questionaire for the appeal, she could tick mild ,moderate or severe, to how my condition affects me in her opinion, she ticked moderate for all questions, she said i wasnt fit for work because of pain and it being badly controlled. Im also being treated for depression.

The cab have helped with paperwork but dont come to the appeal.....well feel better for getting that off my chest lol...
