Can anybody offer me help and advice please?

Whilst you should not allow yourself to be constrained by the ESA50 questionnaire, you do need to describe your condition(s) and limitations in the context of the ESA descriptors as this will be the only way that you will score points.

Our ESA Appeal guide is available on the following link

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa

You should also have a look at the following FAQs

Is there any risk to challenging a decision?

How long do I have to appeal?

How to submit an appeal

Qualifying for the Support Group

12 Month Limit for ESA(CB)

Do I have to attend WFIs while I appeal?
