Hi JP

A UC50 questionnaire is the only form that I am aware of for someone on UC, has you daughter sent in a 'fit note'?

Our UC/ESA Claim guide explains the criteria your daughter will be assessed against and how to explain her limitations. See

Thank you and I shall download this because your guides are excellent. I managed to get her the PIP first time in years I haven't had to go to the tribunal but now she is on UC she had to start again with submitting sick notes - so yes she has just submitted one for 3 months :-)

Hi JP

There are two ways of passing the test

1 - you can score 15 or more points in the assessment

2 - You can be treated as satisfying the assessment without having to show that you score enough points.

In order to qualify for the LCWRA Group your daughter will need to;

* meet one or more of the relevant descriptors, or
* meet one of the associated Exceptional Circumstances rules.

The LCWRA Group descriptors and the Exceptional Circumstances are listed in the Claiming ESA/UC guides in the members area.
