Please refer to the guides in the ESA resources.

Hi cd,

Have a look at all the ESA links from this link :

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa

Preparing for a face to face is covered in ESA claims on physical health grounds, from page 61 onwards, and the other link re mental health and learning difficulties, from page 65 onwards.

Have a look at The WCA Handbook also.

Hope this helps.

cheers

The best thing I can suggest is for you to go through the ESA guides in the Members Only area side by side with your ESA50, to think about how you might reply to a question regarding each of the tests you felt you qualified for.

The guides also have a list of the questions you should expect to be asked at the medical, so again, think about answering these.

The better prepared you are, the less intimidating the interview should be.

Good luck and if you feel up to it, let us know how you get on.

Gordon

When you referred to "Hi CD" at the beginning of your post and said to refer to the ESA guides, I was wondering if you knew something of which I was unaware?

I hope it is not a premonition and that something nasty, namely ESA migration, is lurking around the corner! :unsure: :unsure:
