ESA appeal was created by Sandalina
I have my appeal on 26th July 2019
I suffer from long term depression, panic attacks and anxiety.
I cannot leave home without my daughter who i rely on totally. I had a dwp medical at the end of 2017 i was placed in the support group. I lost my husband in May 2018 and my daughters baby girl was stillborn in Oct 2018. We all have had a terrible time. Jan 2019 i had another dwp medical and was moved to wrag group and decision maker remarks that my mental health has improved!!! I need help with my appeal can anyone advise.I originally asked to attend the appeal but my daughter cant take me and i cant go alone. I need to ask for a paper appeal but really need help laying it out. I thought i would qualify for the support group but have been advised that I do not meet the schedule 3 activities.
I was asked by the HCP how i would cope if my daughter came home early or late - i shrugged my shoulders, my daughter dose not live with me. If she didnt come to accompany me for an appointment i wouldnt go the dwp are aware of this as i have has to rearrange medicals many times because she hasnt turned up or couldnt bring me. I dont think i can cope with this, but i know i will miss these jobcentre appointments and then will get sanctions

Hi A
Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
You can request a paper-based hearing, but be aware there is known to be a lower success rate.
I would read through our guides to ensure that you have submitted all the information necessary for the tribunal.

If you have problems with the paperwork the CAB is a useful source of help or contact any mental health charities in your area.

i am confused
I was under the impression (from filling in tribunal forms) that a paper based tribunal could be requested by anyone, without getting a medical reason for not wanting to attend.
having said that - I believe 'in person' tribunals tend to be more successful as they lay great weight on the personal statements from the person themselves
