Well my ESA questionaire arrive today, what joy !!! The deadline is may 28th. got the phone call from DWP about 10 days ago. I managed to get a supporting letter from my GP, saw him last week, who was very helpful. Said he would support me if i had to appeal. My MS nurse is coming on tuesday to go over the questionaire with me and to add supporting evidense. The DWP say i’m on a" journey" , ghost train more like. Just hoping there aren’t any nasty surprizes !!!

Ooooh God it makes my blood run cold!
What a ridiculous load of cr^p calling it a ‘journey’… ghost train……love it.
Glad to see you have loads of support Tim.
Aren’t they really such a bunch of bas£ards… keep in mind ‘this too will pass’.

Thanks Pat, yes , I agree , they are a bunch of bas£ards. Some of the phase’s they use are “1984” Newspeak.

Thanks pat Great relief I can tell you hope everyone has same outcome
Hi, awaiting my decision now. Only been a few days since it was posted back.
As Wendles got told by phone that she was in the support group, i am very careful how i answer the phone now. All those annoying cold calls might turn out to be a DWP call.
Good luck with the appeal.
luv Pollx
If you need a medical for them (ESA) get your GP to fax ATOS insisting on a home visit, and they will send a doctor to your door instead of you having to travel to them.
Glad to hear you got into the support group steve
