    Hi tailspin,

    Thanks for your post to Helplines. There are many people with arthritis who successfully appeal decisions about ESA. The key point is to consult a Wefare Rights organisation so that you get the best help with wording your appeal. Examples of agencies to contact include http://www.turn2us.org.uk/ and CABs.

    Do get in touch with us if you'd like a chat about how you are doing. We are very aware of how this can be a worry.

    I hope that is helpful

    Guy
