Citizens Advice: We are calling on the Government to make ESA fit for work
The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP)
should listen to evidence from the health and social care professionals
who know you best.
The medical evidence required to make your case should be provided free of charge.
A tougher new contract so the new company providing work capability
assessments will be held accountable for poor reports and bad customer
service.
The DWP should continue to pay people ESA while a second opinion is given on their application.
