Hi Sd,

Welcome to Benefits and Work

Hopefully you have provided information regarding these limitations already in The ESA50.

You are allowed a companion at the assessment.

You could type up a similar explanation to the one that you have posted here, and hand it to the Assessor before the start of the assessment.

They should make allowances for your limitations.

If you haven't done so already, have a read through the following :

ESA Medical – What to expect

&

ESA Claims Guides

Please reply to this topic if you have any further queries.

Good luck and please let us know how you get on !!
