that's very helpful

it perhaps also explains why there are no recorded instances on the site when I searched the term 'Asperger's'

It seems I can rest assured that I will derive no actual benefit to functioning in the world from the assessment !

The guides are available on the following direct link

and are under the heading "ESA Claims and Appeals - Current forms".

Hi,

Just to clarify,

When an ESA Works Capability Assessment (WCA), is carried out, it assesses your limitations as a result of a medical condition, and not the medical condition itself.

e.g. One person who suffers from Aspergers may have completely different limitations to another who suffers with the same condition.

They may also have learned to cope and adapt better to said limitations. These facts will be taken into account when being assessed.

If at all possible, it may be advisable to go through the guides and qualifying criteria with your Support Person.
