I don't have much left to loose now, but at least I will soon know if I have got to live on the breadline money that supposedly stretches in so many ways, never ever been on JS so that may be a challenge too if the tribunal says I'm fit for work, Thank you for all your help and support over the last 2 years plus.

Hi CV,
In the unfortunate event that your appeal is unsuccessful, if you are entitled to Income Related ESA, you will be able to make a fresh claim for ESA straight away.
Anyway, we will cross that bridge if/when we need to.

Hi CV,
Try not to worry about this for now.
You will have to obtain a fresh fit note from your G.P. as it will be for a fresh period of Limited Capability for Work.
However, as 6 months or more will have passed since the time of the original adverse fit for work decision, your health conditions will not have to have deteriorated or changed as they would have, if it had been less than 6 months.
You will have to make a fresh claim using an ESA 1 Claims Form, etc.
If you are entitled to IR ESA which you must be if you have been receiving assessment rate ESA for the 2 year period whilst waiting for your appeal hearing, assessment rate will be paid once more, and you will have to fill in a fresh ESA50, etc.
In the mean time, keep your pecker up !!!
