ESA health assessment AGAIN

I have recently received the dreaded pink ESA form. Since I've received it I've felt nothing but stress and anxiety. The last time I got called up, they took my ESA away and I had to take it to tribunal which I won (placed in the wrong group however).

I have endometriosis, PCOS, anxiety and depression. I have problems with my bowels and my bladder thanks to the endo. I have recently found out that my uterus is stuck to my bladder with adhesions. I suffer badly from the endometriosis and i have more bad days than good. I am often left bed bound and crippled as the pain affects my legs, lower back etc. My health has got worse and it's showing no signs of improvement. I have a life long illness which has no cure and that will just progress.

The form appears to have changed - the questions are like catch 22. I know that I should fill the form out as if I am having one of my worst cays, but I am still worried they will twist things like they did before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I feel stuck with it this time around.

I have hospital letters and a letter from my GP which I will send in. Many thanks

Hi Larry

I'm sorry you are having a hard time with your health and the added burden of this form. I found breaking up the form filling into hour-long sessions helpful, some were even less than that on days when my ms fatigue was particularly troublesome. Its just a matter of plodding on and getting your evidence together.

I am very surprised as it was actually somebody from the job centre who advised me to fill it out based on my bad days. But I did think that cannot be right and you have just confirmed it for me.

Thank you for the advice, I will fill it out as best as I can. I am hoping that my hospital and GP letters will help.

Thank you Becky. I just find it quite over whelming, especially after what happened the last time I was called up. I think the bad experience has just put me off.
