ESA / MOBILISING

I made the mistake of ticking the box 'it varies' in the mobility section of the ESA form, and then, to make matters worse described what I could do on a good day, but failed to mention that good days are few and far between. I was placed in WRAG and had to appeal.

In my appeal I explained how my good days are very rare, and for the majority of the time mobilising is painful, even for short distances, and I am not able to mobilise repeatedly, or to predict when I will be able to mobilise even short distances without pain and exhaustion. I also found evidence in my GP records of falls which caused fractured bones. Even though the most recent serious fall was 3 years ago, I made the observation that the lack of falls recently was due to the fact that I don't go out unaccompanied.

I was placed in support group at reconsideration stage.

Best of luck
