I've been looking at the March 2011 ESA50 questionaire...

... and "A guide to the Work Capability Assessment November 2011" esa_mental_nov_11.pdf

But the guide doesn't mention hardly anything about the differences from Jan 2010 questionaire, just "In 2011 the test was revised to make it shorter and even harder to pass"

If both Mar2011 with 21 activities and Jan2010 with 17 activities both require 15 points, then i was wondering how you get in missing activites from Jan2010 into the Mar2011 questionaire?

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you are asking, could you re-phrase your question.

Do you mean such things as bending/kneeling?

I was thinking of the mental part.

For example jan2010 activity 15 has been cut out "execution of tasks".
If there are less activities then that means less points are available?

Tecnically you are correct, but the reality is that it is no different from before, you can score the necessary points by;

- scoring 15 points in a single descriptor, or
- score 9 or 12 points on two descriptors, or
- score six points on three descriptors

Why did they cut out "memory and concentration" and "execution of tasks"?

If you got 15 points in "execution of tasks" actvity last year where do you get those same points this year?
