No expert on benefits but from what I read on B&W at very best you will get into wrag group,the support group now is extremely difficult to be placed into even on appeal.

Have you looked at the descriptors - can you identify which you believe you meet?

Have you looked into coping mechanisms that might help you manage your condition and get back to work?

It seems you are in a vicious cycle of claiming ESA and failing. You might be best to focus on getting treatment for your condition, rather than making repeated benefit claims.

Depressed shouldn't get esa anyway. We all had depressed. U should have claimed JSA, not ESA.

I seen many peoples claimed ESA for anxiety and panic but ATOS know million workers do suffer from this at work too. So, you won't getting 15 points anyway.

I wouldn't worry about flight747, from other posts it looks like he is a troll.

What has happened at the appeals - have you received any points? Have you received any assistance with your claims, and do you have supporting medical evidence?

Have you tried Cognitive Behavioural Therapy? If it didn't work the first time, it might be worth trying again - often it is a case of finding the right therapist for you.
