Confused about question 9 of esa

Studying question 9 of the esa questionnaire relating to loss of control of bowel one option states at least once a month occurrence of incontinence - But the question relating to loss of control of bowels is then asked again on a later page, giving the option to tick 'once a week' for loss of control of bowel. I suffer loss of control at least once a week. Do I select the once a month option on question 9, and also select the once a week option on the later question? Or do I just select the once a week option? I am a little confused. Sorry.

Hi Liam

Are you looking at ESA50 version 03/11?

If so, what page number does the question appear again?

I'vejust had a tquick look at my ESA50. Question 9 gives the options of 'once a week', 'once a month' and 'less often'. Obviously, from what you have said, you would tick 'once a week'. I cannot see a similar question anywhere else on the form.

Hello again. I have not received my ESA50 form in the post yet, but I was looking at the ESA test on this site. Question 9 is on page 1, and the second question relating to 'once a week' is at the top of page three.

Hi Liam

In the online test, the first question relates to the limited capacity for work test, and the second question refers to the support group test. So you should answer one month for the first, and one week for the second question.

On the ESA50 there is just one section that applies to both tests. See the link below.
