Sounds rubbish, that would mean having common sense being used by the DWP that's never going to happen :silly:

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.

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.
