Congraulations on finding another of the catch-22s embedded in the current ESA50
Most of the Support Group criteria are linked in one way or another to WRAG ones, however, there are two that are not, one of which is Conveying Food to the Mouth, the other being Chewing and Swallowing Food.
If you have problems Conveying Food to your Mouth and did not mention this on your ESA50 then you should write a short letter explaining your disability and why you did not include it on the ESA50.
You should then send this and any supporting evidence to your local DWP, the ATOS address where you sent your ESA50 and finally take a copy to your medical to give to the ATOS "doctor" to read, don't forget to retain a copy for yourself.
