If your condition has worsened, you should reclaim ESA straight away while your appeal is pending.

You will need confirmation of the deterioration from your GP by means of a letter, at which point you will undergo the ESA work capability assessment again.

HI, I AM GETTING ESA I WILL GET A LETTER AND SEND OFF TO DWP. MANY THANKS, RAP.
