Need some advice about Visual Impairness was created by 43djbrooks
Hi there, my wife who is visually impaired received a letter from dwp telling that she is being transferred over to ESA, she has already had a call from dwp and waiting for the ESA50.

Can you give me some pointers on how to get the best result for her, she is 90% without vision she can see a little bit, but as she is getting older that might change.

She has problems planning a journey and she relies on me getting her to locations.
She has problems planning and preparing meals in the kitchen and has regular accidents.
I do have to help her with showers and making sure she presents herself to people.

I joined to give her the best chance as possible.

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?


I would start by reading our ESA Claim guides on the following link

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa1

These explain how to explain a claimants limitations in the context of the ESA descriptors that they will be tested against, including sight problems.

If you still have questions after reading the guide then reply to this post and we will do our best to help you.
