Scoring of new ESA50

Hi,

I have tried the automated scoring page for the ESA test, but this seems to be different from the new ESA50 form. Is that just for medicals or am I misreading it does it apply to the new form?

I am just now going through the new July 2012 updated pdf file physical wca July 2012 which I didn't realise existed until I did a more detailed search on the site, at first I only d/loaded the old 2008 dated pdf file. There is no detail on points for answering questions.

Both are helpful but it would be a good idea to have the new one linked by the old one which was prominent on the site when I joined, d/loaded it but didn't realise there was a more up to date version which I am now trying to go through.

It is helpful, but with my condition being variable, particularly with things such as losing control of my bladder, I'm sure you understand that it is difficult to know what to say as I think I have a problem in that department, but I don't want to be considered to be overclaiming or exaggerating. I guess this is an endemic problem with the tests. There seems to be a lot hidden, so the more detail on how points are assessed is helpful.

Anyway, thanks for any advice about points on this new test.

Sorry if I'm being dense, but where is the info on the scoring for the new ESA 50 please? I am reading the three ESA guides but their ESA questions are different from the ones on my form. Help please!

Hi Hb,

The most current ESA50 is the 03/11 version, which is the one that can downloaded and saved from the link on this page :

Using The PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire

This should be filled in whilst referring to the associated sections or our : ESA Claims Guides , 3rd and 4th links down. You will also see reference to The WCA Handbook, which is the 7th link down the same page.

With respect to the above, see :

How long do I have to complete the ESA50?

ESA50 too big for the envelope

Sending Documents to the DWP or ATOS

You may also wish to review all our : ESA FAQ’s

Remember to take into account any Bank Holidays over the XMAS and New Year period, in ensuring that your ESA50 is returned to ATOS by the deadline given.

Hi Hb,

Here are the actual : ESA WRAG Descriptors

You have to score at least 15 points cumulitively here to gain access to The WRAG.

Here are the : ESA SG Descriptors you must fulfil at least one of these, to gain entry to The SG.

Thanks very much bro58. I will have a look at all those now. I'm maybe in too much of a panic. I will try and get it back in time after the New Year. It's going to be a fun Christmas
