everyone is being moved to ESA, it is the governments way of reducing the amount of money you get without (or so they think)you realising it! ok they say that your money will not go down, but the new threashold is lower than before, so although your money will not go down it will not go up either for a few years till the yearly benefit increases bring the new lower threashold up to the amount you are on at present, by which time people on ESA wont have a pot to P in! I would love to see politicians live off what they expect us to live off, see how many of them get depression then! they probably spend my weekly finance in one night out!
Buttercup has been very lucky to be put in the group not expected to look for work, most people are expected to look for work either with or without support regardless of their actual capability to work.
After having my assessment, being told i am fit for work, and appealing I have since received my P something or other, the thing you give to a new employer, but have not been called in for an interview yet... i am not fit for work and am certainly not going to spend the little energy i have on looking for a job that i stand no chance of getting or holding down!
