If you claim ESA and are turned down, you can continue to claim it at the assessment rate until your appeal is heard.

If your appeal is turned down, you will have to wait until six months after the date of your original claim before you can make a fresh claim unless your circumstances change. Waiting times for appeals are now such that it is entirely possible to make continuous claims.

There is no requirement to reclaim ESA. Simply write to the local JCP/BD office which deals with your ESA claim, and inform them that you wish to be paid at the assessment rate until your appeal is heard.

Ask the relevant office to pay you all the ESA arrears since you last received payment, as the allowance should have been automatically reinstated as soon as you gave notice of your intention to appeal.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
