Yes, if you appeal, you will be enitled to ESA(CB) at the Assessment Rate until a new Decision on your claim is made, subject to the following.
The payment of ESA(CB) is limited to one year while you are receiving the Assessment rate and/or you are in the WRAG, if you are also eligible for ESA(IR) then payments will continue.

You say that if I appeal I will be given an allowance whilst a new decision is being made and I will need sick note from my gp in order to get this - have I got this right?
Thank you Gordon and others

Don't give up J,
As Gordon has said many members have successfully appealed.
Several have gone from 0 Points to The Support Group.

At least that would ease the situation financially for us as I will be getting my retirement pension in September next year (shame its not this year!).
I dont know how long it will be before I get the paperwork from DWP and unfortunately (maybe fortunately) we are going away at the weekend so I will not be able to do anything in writing until after my holiday so lets hope I come home with more energy to tackle an appeal. I do have good family support but I have just felt so completely shattered this afternoon.
No doubt I will be back
