Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

ESA is a test of capability, rather than disability, so the underlying diagnosis is not really a factor in whether you pass the tests or not.
Also, most conditions, have a wide range of impairment from light to severe or chronic, so a decision can never really be based on the disability itself but rather its impact.

I checked both the A-Z of Confitions and the Disability Handbook, when trying to research an answer to your previous post, and there are no recommendations in this area.hi i posted on here yesterday i have heard there are guidelines from another website that there is a list regarding medicals and people with certain illnesses wont be called in for a medical it lists cerebal palsy as being one of these is this true or a load of rubbish thankyou
