Anyone in Support Group Of ESA due to depression?

[Yappy12]

Wondered if there was anyone else here. It's time for the assessment again and have to send the ESA50 form in by next Thursday. Always a worrying time and it's ridiculous that they assess me ever year when there's no improvement. Am worse than ever now in fact after our 22 year-old daughter died suddenly 19 months ago. Last assessment was a year ago and was okay, kept in support group.

IMO, the DWP gambles on people giving up at each hurdle - people have already gone through a demanding process to apply, and then they don't know to appeal, think they won't succeed or just can't face it. Understandable when you're already dealing with health issues.

Yes they think many won't bother with a MR and just accept being put in the WRAG which is only for a year then becomes mean tested. So if your partner's earning a lot you won't get anything whereas the SG isn't means tested.
