Good news for me

I am on support group and not work related group anymore

After being on IB for many years due anxiety/depression and social exclusion, I migrated to ESA work related group in October. This meant after one year I would receive no money. I got mind involved in helping me they in turn got CAB to help with appeal and I got a letter from my GP and partner outlining my conditions.

I have at no time seen anyone from DWP at all or ATOS. I got a call today from DWP asking me a few questions and he said conformed what he already thought and then told me i am on support group. But that some time down the road I have to do same all again.

At least this gives me some less stress I was so worried I have really worried what to do in October as we simple could not afford any more cuts in income. I dont pay a huge mortgage than God but my partner does not earn a huge amount she get very small amount of tax credit couple of quid

I am so relieved I cant say on here how much I am I really dreaded October
