ESA Appeal?

phaeton_graph

Hello,

Was advised to seek ESA over a year ago by the Work Programme due to a back complaint. After months of physiotherapy I felt okay enough to come off ESA not that long ago. In the meantime I picked up employment. Now the Tribunal hearing is imminent and they are asking me if I wish to withdraw my appeal. What will happen if I do please? I am not looking forward to standing in court in the near future if I can possibly be spared that experience?

Thanks

As you are now in employment you don't need or qualify for ESA Just withdraw the appeal. Nothing will happen it will not take place

A tribunal is not a court, but you can withdraw your appeal at any time.

At the tribunal hearing you will need to show that you were actually entitled to ESA at the time the decision was made. How you are now should not count but you will need strong evidence to show that you were that bad but have improved since.
