last year i became ill with severe anxietty and deppression after losing both my parents within a six month period i had suffered from both on and off for several years but never as bad i started getting sicknotes from my dr in May then in November i was awarded ESA. My question is i have just had an appointment with jobcentre as i have to have an appointment every 3 months the advisor i spoke to today told me my ESA was set up for 17 months but i was under the impression the max anybody could be on it was a year at a time and in that year there would be a review to see if esa needed to be extended further so wondered if anybody who has been on esa could enlighten me about this
