Failed ESA appeal.

Hi everyone.
Just wanted some advice if anyone would be able to help then that would be great.
In short, I have just been informed that my ESA appeal has not been overturned and that they are going to get the tribunel dept to contact me.
My condition has changed, I now have to have my back fusion revised and more metal work put into my back and this will take about another year and a half to recover from - if I do.

I informed DWP regarding this and they said it was not a new case but to send additional info, which I did but unfortunately I am still waiting for the letter from my consultant but I have sent an up to date sick note last week by recorded delivery and this had ' awaiting revision surgery ' on it.

I heard today that they have found me fit for work after reviewing my appeal. If my condition is set to get worse before better , hence the surgery and recovery, where does that leave me with a new claim or existing appeal.

If anyone could give me advie then it would be a great help.

Hi Gordon, thanks for replying.

In answer to your question regarding my condition, after waiting for 9 months for an eventual appt with the consultant it turns out that my fusion ( i had this in july 2011) has failed, the screws have turned and there is a crack in the bone. i have to have this op done again and more of my back fused than was done originally , with a 6 month waiting list, and it could take up to a year and a half to fully know whether this is a success.

You are correct in saying i am recieving no money, cannot get jsa and i just don,t know what to do now. Dwp said when i told them about the op that it wasn,t a new claim but surely if i have major surgery to face how can i be expected to go back to work.

I do want to get back on my feet but obviously this is the only option i have.

Just feel as though they think i am making it all up and the appeal report that came today almost reiterated this. It made me feel awful.
