If you are attending the medical as part of an ESA claim, then you will be assessed for ESA.

The requirements of an ESA medical are quite different from a DLA and vice versa, the two are not interchangable.

That is not to say that there is no overlap in the criteria for ESA and DLA and there are some circumstances where an issue with one can impact on the other, most usually ESA to DLA.

Hi, having started to read through the Decision Makers Exchanges, I found out that;

ESA85 forms are used by decision makers when considering claims for DLA.

Best wishes,
Rachel
