Esa

I know I have just posted this on the benefits page but thought would ask here too sorry for the duplicate.

My ESA has been terminated as I was placed in the WRAG group and the maximum 2 years has expired last week.

Can I submit a new claim or am I better off 'appealing' via the application for re-assessment form? My husband is self employed and isnt too happy about me sharing his info but has agreed "if it helps me get some money!". His income fluctuates so much and truth be told I don't see any of it myself other than the Tax Credits he is entitled to which I use to pay the household bills on his behalf otherwise he would forget to pay them and we would end up in financial debts again.

I also would like to appeal for the new PIP claim I have been awarded as the advice on their information letter doesnt match a lot of what I said at the medical a few months ago or on the form a year ago!

Thanks for the advice sorry if I have asked before but my memory is bad at this time due to stress

    Sorry I duplicated it as this thread deals with PIP (Disability benefit) and the other one deals with ESA (Jobcentre Benefit). :)
