You will have to raise a SAR.
Personally I would not bother with the computer records , they rarely reveal anything of consequence.
Yes you should specifically mention the ESA85.
You can either ask for specific information or all of the information within a specified period, as you are only interested in how you qualified I would ask for the all of the documents used in the making of the Decision date dd/mm/yy.

Hi C,
You can use a SAR Form :
SAR Form Download
From this page :
DWP Data Protection Policy
Or you can make the request in the form of a letter, as long as you make it clear that you are making a formal SAR under The Data Protection Act 1998.
Address the envelope : FAO The Data Controller, at the address of the Benefits Office on your most recent ESA letter.
Write DPA 1998 SAR in front, top, left corner of envelope.
Once received, they have 40 calendar days to comply.
Sending Documents to the DWP.

Is it possible to just fill out the SAR Form and then send it direct to the Data Controller, at the address of the Benefits Office on your most recent ESA letter with DPA 1998 SAR in front, top, left corner of envelope.
sorry for all the questions, thank you.
