Hi people, need a little advice.

I suffer with mental health, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, drug problems and a clawed hand...I recently was put into support group ESA.

allthough i have al these problems and i attend with a psychitrist and substance misuse teams and my local doctors, when i signed off origionall and collected sicnotes it was for depression ect..,.,

when i claimed for ESA i gave them details about all my issues... and the same for my pip claim...

my question is...will i be assessed for all my problems or just what the doctor signed me off for... many thansk...

ALSO. allthough i see a psych doctor and have been assessed for mental health issues, i am now on an assessment for medication, does this mean iam assessed for mental health correctly and that this would be used in my claims, or wud the pip dismiss my initial assessment because i am not yet assessed for meds...
