ESA(CB)

Hi everyone, first I would like to thank the Benefits & Work site for all the valuable info I received to complete my ESA application.
I've been transferred from IB to WRAG,with no medical. I suffer from fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, bursitis in both shoulders and loss of bowel control (usually 1/2 weekly)This has all been included in the form, backed up by evidence from GP and consultant. I am now worrying about attending interviews especially regarding loss of bowel control (this is highly embarrassing for me)I am in constant pain with fibro, have difficulty using stairs, bending, reaching, am bedridden at times, cannot sit or stand for long periods. I don't meand to be ungrateful but would I be right in thinking that cos of bowel probs I should be in support group? Sorry this is so long, and sorry if I've got it all wrong, am v confused about the whole thing! Thank you

I am not surprised that you are anxious about the possibility of attending a WFI.

The information here might help

Qualifying for the Support Group

Thanks for your prompt reply Mrs H. I did look at that earlier and if I'm right the descriptor on Page 17 applies to me, would that be right?

The Support Group descriptors are on page 24. It would seem that no 7 would be appropriate to your situation.

Thanks again for keeping me right. My letter dated 12 April, I recd it 17 Apr and it was sent 1st class!! Lost a few precious days then!!
