Hi,
I have been on income related ESA WRAG for almost 2 years (this December). I am now being told that in December I will have to go to job center? I have been trying to search online for more info regarding this but it seems there is very little information and what information there is, it seems based on JSA? I suffer from Asperger's (have about 7 different medical assessment reports from different doctors), depression and anxiety and have severe troubles going outside / meeting new people / public places / social interaction etc... I have been seeing people online say how they were put into a Community Work Placement program and stuff like this which would simply not be possible for me. What options are there for me? Am I able to simply re-apply for ESA and attend another assessment? Or request a reassessment? Just not sure what to-do, like I said my WRAG doesn't finish until December so I still have a little breathing space to work out how to proceed. Just don't think I could cope with the JSA experience again, being forced to attend interviews with people I don't know in public places with lots of unknown people around, being forced to-do some kind of community service etc???
Since I was first placed into WRAG I have had another 6 medical assessments from different medical professionals and the new reports I have all say the same thing (just in far more detail) as the initial report supplied for my initial ESA claim. Can these be used for a consideration of a reassessment?
Any help is much appreciated as really confused as what to do and what would be expected if I have to go to Job center in December?
