[QUOTE="Energize, post: 207540, member: 28960"] [b]Re: HOW CAN THEY PUT ME INTO ESA WRAG GROUP WHEN MY WIFE IS [/b] Hi Steve Yes, I can understand your frustration. I've just been checking out the assessment. If you Google 'work capability assessment' and go to the direct.gov site (top of the list), then click on their link [b] Download 'A guide to ESA - the Work Capability Assessment ESA214' (PDF, 154K) [/b] (which you will find near the bottom of the web page), you will find details of this assessment, and how the points are awarded. The value/points awarded for different activities are outlined towards the end of the document. To me, it makes very interesting reading. It is based entirely on what a person is able to do, on a one-off moment. It doesn't take into account any other issues, such as resultant pain, stress, etc etc, as you will see, or probably know. My suggestion would be to definitely appeal, of course, but also to get help with your appeal, such as CAB. They will have a lot of expertise and will be able to help you considerably. Keep calm, get your facts together, make a list of difficulties you would have in a workplace etc. I feel sure you can get this overturned but I understand you have limited time in which to appeal. I wish you all the best. [/QUOTE]
