Re: Worrying news for ESA claimants converting from DLA to PIP.
Yes, I can see where they're coming from re the absence of recent reports but if it weren't for Osem Jnr medical conditions, he'd never see a medic either. I think there'll be help out there re an appeal if you carry on looking but part of that might involve obtaining a private medical (or other) report to support your claim.
Sadly for us Jnr #2 has copious medical files (we still see is consultant 3-4 times a year even though he's 'progressed' into adult services) and there's no doubt that this helps even though some of his major issues aren't health related at all, they're more to do with a lack of understanding re day to day situations, limited communication/social awareness and vulnerability.
