Hi mp08,

Yes, it is !!

It comes under :

Activity 5. Descriptor (b)

"Manual dexterity.

5(a) Cannot press a button (such as a telephone keypad) with either hand or cannot turn the pages of a book with either hand.

(b) Cannot pick up a £1 coin or equivalent with either hand

(c) Cannot use a pen or pencil to make a meaningful mark with either hand.

(d) Cannot single-handedly use a suitable keyboard or mouse.

(e) None of the above applies."

Of : The Functional WRAG (LCW)Schedule 2 Activities/Descriptors

and awards 9 points !!!!!!

However, it is not a Descriptor in : The Functional SG (LCWRA) Schedule 3 Activities/Descriptors.

All this is covered in our : ESA Claims Guides 2nd & 3rd links down !!

Please read them before posting queries !!

yes I will look more closely, it's just that I looked in the wca handbook for the first time and must have got confused. you see I have vwf and being unable to pick up a pound coin is one of my points scorers. thanks again.
