Our client is a lady in her late forties who has been on Employment Support Allowance for a long time due to mental issues. In April she was assessed again as part of her renewal of her ESA Application and refused ESA. This meant her ESA payments stopped leaving her only with her PIP payments. Due to her mental health issues she feels unable to sign on for Job Seekers so is trying to hold out for her appeal to be resolved. Unfortunately she is fast running out of money and needed to buy some food. The agency that are supporting her are hopeful they can get her ESA reinstated in the next 14-21 days, so asked for help to keep her going until then. We agreed between us to send across £100 so she can do a decent food shop to see her over the next fortnight to three weeks.
