i am a 57 year old male who has worked all my life till 2 years ago when diagnosed with epilepsy and also a stroke. they tell me esa is based on 1 years insurance stamps and although i have paid this for 40 years im now told i no longer qualify for any money, is this correct? if so it is totally wrong as i was always told stamps would entitle me to benefits if ill.this is making me worse with the constant worry of paying my mortgage, although my wife works, she has to pay everything which leaves us very short for remainder of month.plus constant hassle from atos for more and more medicals. what is it they dont understand or care about?
