    hey all.

    ive had my IB-ESA migration letter.

    ive been placed in WRAG!?

    i'm a sufferer of MH and severe brittle asthma.

    my MH is up and down i suffer agoraphobea to go with it.

    what is the support group criteria these days?

    i'm expected to attend WFI, but even the thought of joing to the job center and having to sit infront of many people, and explain to a stranger my is making me very anxious indeed.

    if my MH dips on a day the WFI is due to take place i know i wont attend pick up a phone or even get out of bed.

    i'm not responding to Medication for depression, and i'm due to see my GP again who will refure me to the mental health service and CPN for further investigations and i'm in the same boat there about going to see someone i dont know and being out of routine.

    i'm not that good with people at best of times, and i fear if i do attend a WFI i may get violent for no apparent reason (it happens sopmetimes i'm very paranoid of what people think and say to me and take things out of context alot).

    what steps do i take here with having the DWP recconsidder my ESA claim to be place in support group? and whats the criteria to make sure i'm not waisting my efforts.


    I think the best advice I can give is to subscribe to the Benefits and Work site, they have step by step guides on appealing and a wealth of information to support your claim. If you have someone who can help and is willing to look through these things with you it will really help as it can be a very worrying time and your health may worsen as a result. I do wish you luck with everything.
