[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 355129, member: 56231"] [b]Re: HOW CAN THEY PUT ME INTO ESA WRAG GROUP WHEN MY WIFE IS [/b] Hypos with loss of consciousness are the only things that will get you points for ESA and they have to be occurring more than weekly to get you 15 points and the benefit (and even that will only get you into work related activity group). There are no support group descriptors for consciousness, so even if you were having several hypos a week it wouldn't be enough to get you into support group. The only other diabetes related condition that might get you ESA is if you have neuropathy that means that you can't reliably and repeatedly walk more than 50 meters, or alternatively that you can't walk at least 50 meters without having to stop due to pain. That would also get you into the support group, which is £5 per week more, doesn't involve attending work related activity, and doesn't end after 12 months, as contribution based ESA does. But it is very difficult to get into support group, it is intended for the most profoundly disabled and terminally ill. Because the points system is cumulative, you could also score 15 by having some hypos (at least once a month) and some walking difficulties (100 meters).
