Hi Gary, just thought I'd let you know that I was in a similar situation to you regarding ESA earlier this year.I had my money stopped for 10 weeks until they reached the decision that I wasn't depressed enough not to look for work.I went to see an advisor at the Wirral Benefits agency,now moved to where the Big Cod used to be in Liscard,and he told me to appeal which I did,and as soon as the Court received confirmation of my appeal I had all my money back dated which by that time was a considerable amount,but while it went to appeal I was able to make a new claim for ESA and get paid for the time it took to get to court. I lost the appeal and am now working part time but at least I got my money back.I would advise you to go and see this very helpful man called Dave. Good Luck and keep your chin up and although you might not think so now,nothing is as bad as it seems.Maybe having that Pub get together for all us lonelies on here mightn't be such a bad idea? I wish you well.
Thank you all so so much for your kind suggestions and cool comments ... I'm overwhelmed by it ...
I'm getting help from AdvocacyInWirral regarding my ATOS/ESA appeal or 2nd medical assessment / appeal and to be honest AdvocacyInWirral have all of my paperwork as I can't make head or tail of the contradictions on the part of ATOS/DWP (crooks imo) My counsellor has spoke to me today regarding a befriending service that may help to stop the rot regarding my loneliness and despair .. Just have to play the waiting game in this ridiculous situation !!! All to the detriment of my ever decreasing mental,physical and financial health
I am on that site .... but only because I don't know how to delete my profile ... I'm stuck financially so dating is a distant memory sadly ... But thanks for the suggestion !! I live in NewBrighton btw
Ha ha Gary.....noting how you are now tuning into Wiki early morning. Maybe you had just awoken and therefore, I now believe you have got hooked !!!!!

My sleep pattern is silly these days ... and yes I am addicted ,still hoping there is a rich woman who takes pity on me or reads my posts and wants to sweep me off my feet .. as I'm all poorly and miss cuddles and stuff ( just had a heart monitor fitted that I have to wear for 7 days and my Dr has rung me and have to go in to discuss my blood test results ) woe is me !!!! All with a broken heart and no money !!! Bah :o)
Go Gary !(oh, on application forget the 'cat lover'....might put them off a wee bit.)
