Just had a quick search through this and the only mention of ESA I can find is saying that it is one of the benefits "in the scope of the benefit cap" (Page 137).
I haven't seen any changes to ESA mentioned today anywhere on the news sites I've been reading.

I've not been around for months with one thing and another going on. Beanie I was shocked to hear you being described as a 'victim' - yours is the 1st diary I looked up, as I generally like to hear how you are doing - you've shown me lots of kindness over the years I've wittered on here. I never even knew what your condition was - a victim uses it as every opportunity. What I see is a brave lady overcoming her lot with wisdom, wit and the reality of life.
I hope the re-jigged meds help. Not accessing events is so frustrating and humiliating, I have been with my family members who have had to overcome this many times. Access is generally better these days but there are still lots of places that are inaccessible.
I hope you manage to get your house valued as it might just be the new start you need........
I'm being nosey, do you use an aid to help you with your balance?
Hang on in there lovely lady....January spends - £587.581 -
Hey Millan. So lovely to see you :wave:
I am plodding on:)
How if life treating you?
Well I hope?
I have various sticks and a walker thingy too.
There is a wheelchair in very far away lurkdom too!!
In a very ideal world I would have a fabarooni very lightweight scooter thingy~~well a lass can dream!!!

Wasn't it two years ( I'd JUST sold my house). We were looking at gold post boxes and you were wearing a particularly fetching hat.Debt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.

Scooters are fab Beanie, you need to get saving. You can get them online for a fraction of the price they are in the shops. DH's most recent one was £1300 in all the local shops but we found it online for £550 inc delivery.
Just in the process of changing our car and having a hoist fitted as I'm struggling to lift the scooter bits in and out for him, it will all be remote controlled so just press a button.
The freedom it brings him is immense, I urge you to do the same xx"Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.1 -
