About to embark on the ESA rollercoaster.

Hi,

I finally got my letter telling me I am up for review, and as per usual when these things arrive, I've gone in to worry hyper drive.

I get Income Support with the extra bit for being ill.

I have Mental Health problems, along with stomach problems.

I've read quite a lot of the threads on this forum about ESA, and a lot of them say to get a letter from GP and Psychiatrist.

Getting a letter from the Psychiatrist is pretty straight forward, but how straight forward is it to get a letter from a GP?

What I mean is, will the GP give a general letter covering a variety of things, or can I ask for a letter specific to my mental health and stomach.

Also, I read in some threads to ask the GP to write with the ESA descriptors in mind. Is this an OK thing to do?

Hope someone can give me advice.

Thanks.
