Using an electric wheelchair was created by gillyf
I am currently ploughing through the ESA50 form using your guide which is great but i have reached the bit about moving around and using steps. I have never used a manual wheelchair having gone straight into an electric wheelchair 3 years ago and see they don't include them in this section. Do i fill it in as though i can't use a manual wheelchair which is true due to pain and lack of strength in my arms. Do i mention the electric wheelchair?

You should certainly mention on the ESA50 that you use an electric wheelchair as opposed to a manual wheelchair for the reasons you have stated, because this may very well be an important factor for satisfying the support group criteria?
