Alistair's story

"Had ESA medical - was on basic rate. Had hearing test & blood test at the medical. Reduced payment to £100.00 p.w. because of query over partner (joint claim) who is not on any disability or other benefits. Have said this would only be until decision made in a couple of weeks. Partner can't get out of house - can't walk (heart, knees and back - overweight). (ex drug-taker and alcoholic) - Has to support partner and 2 children (18 months and 8 months)."

Thank you to Alistair for sharing his experience.
