Had my first F2F in 10 years to day for my £28:56p per week ESA contributions benefit. Bit of a farce really. After a 50 mile drive with my wife to the assessment centre just outside Newcastle we got there early to be told that there is a 30 minute delay. Anyway after 30 m ins I was called. One hour answering questions less than 5 minutes medical examination. the female Dr was a bit shocked when she asked if I had, had a medical before. To which I replied yes this will be my 10th including War Pensions ones and DLA ones. All this I thought for a benefit that is going to terminate with me in 8 months time. I even claimed £23 for my Derv. Nearly as much as the benefit! Just got to wait and see now what the DM says.
