ESA claims was created by Minxy
I have a Urostomy which is a bag where my urine is emptied, it’s known on the ESA WC form as a collecting device. I get up to 5 leaks per week. Will this put me in the non working group?

I also have arthritis and cervical disc disease. I problems sitting for longer than 30 mins to an hour, however I can stand and walk. How can give an example as the WC form puts standing and sitting together, which in my opinion is not fair., as some people like myself might only be effected by one.

Hi Minxy,

Yes you will be given 15 points and placed in the ESA Support Group as long as you have " one leak " per week.

The descriptors for the Standing and Sitting descriptor are more complicated and I suggest you read the BenefitsandWork guide on the subject which is at page 44 of the link below.
