Help with Sa descripter for ESA

[johnnipain]

I asked for a letter from ESA to prove i was given 15 points as DLA did not beleive me and did not want to look it up so the letter stated i had 15 points and i was in the wrag but also stated the the descriptors Wc and Sa

 

I have just been reading the WCA handbook am I correct in thinking that the Sa descriptor would put me in the support group if so should i phone up and point this out?

 

Many thanks

Hello there.

Hello again. I just looked again at the descriptor 2a for ESA and it's not about moving chairs. Is the one you mean for DLA maybe?

HB, I think it's:

2(a) Cannot move between one seated position and another seated position located next to one another without receiving physical assistance from another person

[johnnipain]

no definatly from ESA it states based on availible info descriptors Wc and Sa are appropriate but placed in WRAG

[Nystagmite]

Is it possible for you to post exactly what was written on the letter, please?

[johnnipain]

would you like the whole lot medical reasons and all or just the descriptor bit

 

large list of problems etc then

 

based on availible infomation descriptors Wc and Sa are appropriate mrs *** meets the thresehold for ltd capabilty for work

 

I have also determined that by reason of her phyisical condition none of the descripters set out in schedule 3 to the ESA reg apply she does not have ltd capability for work related activity so will be placed in the WRAg
