ESA Tribunal due in a few days time

Good afternoon I am new here, I am my wife's carer and representative. She has mental problems and chronic learning difficulties. Could you tell me which members guide(s) you think I should download and do you have any tips or advice.

We went to a tribunal for IB two years ago which was won

Thanks

Hello Raymondo and welcome,

This will help you to find your way around the site

Welcome to Benefits and Work

With only 2 days to go, I'm afraid that you have a lot of reading to get through!

I don't know whether your wife is appealing a 'fit for work' decision or whether she is appealing for Support Group from WRAG. Either way, you should decide which descriptors apply to your wife and show that.

The ESA guide for people with mental health problems is the one you need

ESA claims and appeals

If you take any extra paperwork with you to the appeal, you should make sure there are 4 copies - one for you, one for each member of the panel and one for the clerk. Read our appeal FAQs for further advice

Appeal FAQs

Your wife will be the best evidence you have. The panel will want to talk to her and ask questions about how she is affected by her problems. You will be allowed to speak afterwards if necessary.

The forum will be closing soon, but you have plenty of reading to do for now! Please come back to this page when the forum re-opens this evening if you have further questions. You will find it easily in future if you bookmark it now

HI Mrs H thanks for your excellent advice I have been busy reading all the information and preparing an assessment. Might you be around either tonight or tomorrow night to answer any further queries.


Thanks

Raymondo
