ESA victim

ESA victim was created by Jude
25 years in support group or its equivalent. Multiple mental health issues. Full Psychiatrist and GP support.
Just been put in the wrag and had payments stopped after 1 year due to small insurance income.
It seems now that if you can write an email that's it. If you self harm make sure you have at least one hospital admission to show them. Actual wounds at the assessment don't count.
I'm lucky. I have family to help financially. I just don't know how so many others manage.
On many previous occasions I have used advice from here and the CAB to help. Our CAB has just had to let go the one person with experience. Now the best you can get is help filling in the forms and it's frankly useless. No money.
So depressing
