hello, ive just got my esa50 renewal, and i will need to provide evidence on mental health grounds, that usually wouldnt be a problem, based on my longstanding problems, but me and my mental health trust absolutely hate each other,and it will never ever heal, basicaly , they have let me down in my care many many times over the years, and when challenged they lie and protect fellow colleages,this caused serious problems between us,and now unfairly,very unfairly,brand me as there common enemy ,made worse,by again neededing to lodge complaints about this etc, long storry short they lie, and would probably go out of there way to do harm to my claim, im completely suffering with ill health and have for along time but now cant even get help, ive asked for new care coordinators, and a new team but they wont help, its very very nasty and i cant get help anywhere, considering all this, i feel my only option is to ask for esa to use my last medical evidence, as there is nothing else i can provide and they cant be trusted,

can anyone shed any light on my situation please

Hi Lee-d

It is up to you which information you submit for your ESA renewal. Do you have copies of your previous evidence to send in? You will be expected to complete the form and it won't be enough just for you to say look back at your previous records. And would your GP be willing to provide you with a letter confirming your mental health difficulties?

Hi Lee-d

You don't have to use your GP surgery a lot to get a letter from them. Go and see one of them and see if they would be willing at least to confirm your illness, and if that's the only evidence you can send, so be it. I recently helped someone who sent a letter from their GP which was one sentence. It was the only piece of evidence we had and it was enough. (I'm not saying that will always work, but it may be worth a try.)
