ESA

Hi,

My first time on the board. I had a F2F assessment and scored 0 points surprisingly ! I then applied for mandatory reconsideration which was again rejected. After reading these forums I expected this but was still scared. I applied for the appeal tribunal and to be honest was on the verge of backing out as the thought terrified me. I would have gone ahead though as was the right thing to do. today I got a dreaded brown envelope, as I am on contributory ESA which was due to end in April I wasn't sure what to expect. ( I get £300 per month from my deceased husbands pension) .
Anyway sorry for waffling the letter was a reconsideration notice giving me 15 points for mobility and stating they didn't bother looking at any other issues as I had enough points for the support group.
I am having a cheeky glass of wine to celebrate as can't believe it. Although I have not asked for advice reading the forums helped greatly so thank you everybody. I didn't know this could happen. Do I need to cancel the appeal or is this done automatically.
I am over the money and can breath again until my DLA to PIP comes through xx

That's great news Karen, thanks for letting us know!

The appeal will be cancelled automatically now.
