    if you kept copies of application form read through it as no doubt that was months ago. Ensure you have everything you need meds wise. paperwork wise (including copy of form) beside you or with you for f2f. And bottle of water to save you having to get a drink or drying up.

    Apart from that I wish you all the best, I had mine 3 weeks ago today and felt exactly the same.
    I am responsible me, myself and I alone I am not the keeper others thoughts and words.
  • Well today was not what I was expecting.

    I went to pall mall on king street in Manchester.
    There was free tea and coffee and very comfortable seats in the waiting area.
    I was called in on time. The lady whose name I have completely forgot was lovely.
    The room was light and airy. My bigest shock and also relief was the ergonomic chairs not the cheap ones either.
    I was in there for around 90 minutes I didnt feel any pressure I just answered as honestly as I could. There was a slight medical at the end it was squeeze my fingers lift ur arms an legs ect...

    I feel quite positive it wasnt a bad experience im just hoping it was enough. She told me Manchester had one of the lowest waiting times. If my decision is through when it should be I will have waited 7 months which I think is good.

    now I have to sit an wait for my esa f2f. Im going to push my mp to help on this one because I want to work or do something to keep my head from seizing up haha an I know esa support and work groups can help me find something if only for a few hours a week.

    good luck to all waiting. For me its one down and one to go.
