ESA85S ?

Hi N,
In other words, it's an anomaly, or as we might say OOP North, "work that one out then" ?

O.K. N,
Yes, The ESA85S is otherwise known as a Personalised Summary Statement, (PSS) and is an add-on to the ESA85 Medical Report, where the ATOS HCP justifies their recommendations.
There is nothing wrong with writing a letter, in the form of a SAR, and asking the particular question.
i.e. Which of the SG Descriptors were applied in making the SG decision ?
From Page 133 of The WCA Handbook :
"3.10.1.2 Advice that engagement in work is unlikely In the Longer Term.
Where at assessment you find a substantial degree of functional impairment resulting from a serious medical problem which is chronic or will inevitably deteriorate further, even with optimal treatment, you should select "in the longer term".
For example it may be appropriate to apply “in the longer term” to someone with a progressive neurological condition.
Or, in the case of a young adult with a very significant degree of learning disability, who scores where cognitive impairment in a number of functional areas mean that he requires a high level of support, you may feel that all management and support strategies have been exhausted and further adaptation is unlikely to occur.
You would then reasonably advise a “in the longer term” prognosis."
So in the longer term is the maximum prognosis that can be advised by The HCP, this usually means that the DM will give a prognosis of 2-3 years.

Thanks bro.
I suppose I will have to make do with what I have for the next assessment coming, I just wanted to try and gather all information to be ready for it, it would have been better to know which descriptors and how many points were used in my case. But the HCP has done a good assessment, the ESA85S is very detailed indeed.
Thanks.
