You have a number of options.

You can challenge the Decision not to award you ESA. The first stage of this is to request a Mandatory Reconsideration, you normally have one month to do this from the date of the Decision letter on your ESA. You will not be paid while the MR is carried out, if your finances will not tolerate this you can claim JSA but will have to make a Job Search commitment. If the MR does not overturn the Decision then you can lodge an appeal with the Tribunal Service, once this is accepted you should be eligible for the ESA Assessment rate providing you are still covered by a Fit Note.

You can make a new claim for ESA, this can be done in parallel to any challenge to the previous Decision that you might make, however, you will not be paid unless you have a new or deteriorated condition, or six months have elapsed since the Decision not to award ESA.

Have a look at the following and if you have more questions, please reply to this post.
