esa reasessment. was created by Tom
Good morning and Happy new year everyone.
I'm just planning how to fill in my esa50 for when I eventually get it and I'm a bit confused by one question. On the mobilising on question one none of the boxes apply as I cant even walk 50 metres, So I thought I'd have a look at the esa member guide. I thought about putting none of the above apply to me, but the member guide I'm looking at says if you put that, you will score 0 points. Forgive me If I've miss understood it, I'd rather just have it clear in my mind and not risk having to battle for my esa. Thankyou for your help!

Although you don't need to feel constrained by the tick boxes, you do need to provide an answer to the question being asked, if you don't then the assessor will assume that none apply. So mark the tick boxes "see below" and explain how far you can walk n the comments box or on any attached pages.
Remember the Mobilising Descriptor also considers your ability to self propel a manual wheelchair over equivalent distances, so you must explain your ability to do this is effected as well to score points.

Oh i see, so if I just put none of the above and didnt fill in the box I'd quite rightly score no points. However if I put see below by the tick boxes and then explain my mobility issues that should be fine? Thankyou for your help

Hi there. Am i correct in assuming that for a esa reasessment i will recieve the esa50 around 2 months before the prognosis date. For example if my prognosis date said the 2nd june, would i get the esa50 around 2 months before that? Thankyou for your time
