So recently I was discharged by my psychiatrist I am on Escitlopram 20mg and was under him for reviews. Now that's not happening I wanted to know of I would still be eligible for benefit as I still suffer from anxiety and depression but my GP monitoring me instead. I know ESA and DLA only work when you have someone looking over your treatment.

Your GP monitering you can be enough to qualify for these benefits, you don't necessarily have to be under someone else.
Obviously you need to be ill and they would need proof of this, but you wouldn't need to under a consultant all the time.
:yes: My evidence has always been provided by a GP
Just an update. Today I received a letter after 3 whole months about my claim to benefit. I have been placed in the support group.
