    That's discusting! Can't you appeal the decision? It's sad you are put in this position when you know you can't do a thing and you feel helpless! I'm sorry that this has happened to you. See what it says when you get the decision in writing.

    Hi,Bubba
    Yes you can appeal which I did and lost their reasons were a load of waffle but because I could walk a short distance with my crutch I could work!
    They said with my professional qualification (a staff nurse) I would be able to work in an office answering the phone! Think they wanted me to go work for the 111 service! No thank you! Its a useless service with too many problems!
    Luckily I have my little NHS ill health pension to get by on!
    I only claimed ESA because work told me to and my claim was from 28/8/12 to 12/3/13 when my pension kicked in! So far they haven't asked for the money back but you never know then I will lose my temper! Grr
    I think they make it so difficult, stressful and time consuming in the hope you won't appeal
    Might be worth going to citizen advice to see if they can help
    Maria
