Are Maximus aware of my previous ESA claims? was created by Hastings
Hi,
It is time for me to complete my ESA50 form. Last time I needed to go to a tribunal before I was granted ESA.
When completing the form I was wondering whether I should include references to how I coped (or didn't) with Jobcentre interviews and the tribunal experience last time around.( I suffer from anxiety issues)
My concerns are that if I make them aware that I was taken all the way to a tribunal last time that they may disallow my initial claim and force me to appeal again hoping that I will lose the tribunal hearing this time.
If they are already aware of my history I believe that by making these references to interviews etc. that it is a good way for me to express my condition.
Hope this makes sense!
Any advice please?

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
Those assessing you will do so on the merits of your claim, they won't be concerned with how your current award was achieved.
You can include what you with your ESA50 if you think that it will assist with your claim, the Decision Notice from your Tribunal will definitely help providing you can show that it is still relevant to your conditions and limitations as they now are.
Please make use of our ESA Claim guides to help you complete the form, treat it as a new claim and complete the form in detail and submit supporting evidence as you can, even if it has been sent before.
