Esa appeal

You do not currently have an award of ESA so you cannot request a Supersession, however, you can/could make a new claim for ESA based on a deteriorated condition at any time after the Decision that found you Fit for Work, however, any Decision on that new claim would limit the result of the Appeal that is being heard next week.

As an example; if the Tribunal places you in the Support Group, but the Decision on a new claim finds you Fit for Work again, then you will only receive back payments for the period between the two Decisions and you would be back to the situation that you are currently in and have to make a new appeal.

Also, as it would be a new claim (new qualification, ESA50 and assessment), you would only be entitled the ESA Assessment rate (you should be receiving this as a result of your appeal), until a new Decision is made, given the current delays in the system, I think it unlikely that a new Decision would have been made before your appeal was heard.
