Pip Benefit info please

Funnily enough just before Christmas I had another lovely brown envelope from the Department of Works & Pensions appear in my letterbox! Only another questionnaire to fill in from ESA this time!! Unbelievable!! So just when I thought all the stress was over after winning the PIP for life again I have to go through all this all over again so 2019 is going to start off stressful as I wait to hear from these muppets (shouldn't call them muppets as muppets are soft sweet creatures!!) as to whether I will win this benefit.

My husband & I have spent this morning filling in the ESA forms and getting frustrated with the stupid questions they ask. We eventually got the form and feel exhausted. At least we did it before the new year has started so now we have to wait to see if they will let me keep my benefit or have to go and be assessed.

some times you are granted the benefit without doing the assessment.

If like in the US , keep a progressive Paper trail to have all on hand if they inquire.

Yes I have kept copies of what I have written as this isn't my 1st rodeo!! I hope as with the PIP assessment my G.P will give them a grilling and I will have not have to go for a face to face!

I've just had another from to fill in for ESA so I've got all of that stress again! I've got my social work coming out on the 25 Feb to fill it in for me as my disabitiy is complex. I think what the DWP does is if you've been newly awarded pip than your sent for reassessment for E.S.A. Lucky I didn't need a Face to face interview but it's still a big worry. Why cant the gov understand that if your born severally disabled your never going to get better!... my condition has gotten worse over the years. Sorry about my writing I am not feeling to well.
