I sent stuff stating when my initial diagnosis were, but I feel this was just cast aside as irelevant/out ofdate, but am hoping when appeal comes up that this will be taken for what it is confirmation of illness/disability when it was first seen etc. But then again who are we dealing with?

I too have the ESA85A with disabilities, and WRAG and 18 month timeframe before I am deemed ready for work.
I am very worried that my ESA Contributory will end which will compromise my Finances meaning my flat (in Supported Housing) is threatened.
I am struggling with getting an appeal letter today with a lovely family who are benefit bashy but who want to help.

Hi everyone, I have been put into esa wrag group and told I could return to work in 18 months. At atos assessment told I had nothing to worry about. Are they hoping for miracle cures or as the cynicysm in me suspects they are hoping sickness will no longer exist. I am hoping with this fiasco they will have the decency to treat chronically sick and disabled people with the respect we deserve. Best wishes to you all Karensweep
