I've just received the ESA form for migrating from income support. I am looking at the criteria for use of hands/arms. I am wondering what size the large empty box might be - is it TV size or kleenex box? Does anyone know? Also, I have severe RA which affects me some days more than others. Would this in itself be enough to qualify me for the special criteria section? Any advice would be appreciated. I am trying not to get in a complete state about all this but already am.

Unfortunately, there is clear definition of how large the box would be, however, one that sits between the two examples you give is more likely to be what is meant.
I'm afraid it is not your condition(RA), that qualifies you but its impact on your ability to perform the tests that counts.
The ESA test in question is discussed in more detail on oage 39 of the ESA Claims on Physical grounds. See
