Hi EC,

Just to clarify scoring 15 points for incontinence under :

(Activity) "9. Absence or loss of control whilst conscious leading to extensive evacuation of the bowel and/or bladder, other than enuresis (bed-wetting), despite the wearing or use of any aids or adaptations which are normally or could reasonably be worn or used."

(Descriptor) 9(a) At least once a month experiences:

(i) loss of control leading to extensive evacuation of the bowel and/or voiding of the bladder;

or

(ii) substantial leakage of the contents of a collecting device,

sufficient to require cleaning and a change in clothing."

[ N.B. being "sufficient to require cleaning and a change in clothing." applies for Descriptor 9(a) (i) AND (ii) ]

Of The WRAG Activities/Descriptors, would only place you into The WRAG !



To gain access to The SG for incontinence, you would have to fulfil :

(Activity) "8. Absence or loss of control whilst conscious leading to extensive evacuation of the bowel and/or voiding of the bladder, other than enuresis (bed-wetting), despite the wearing or use of any aids or adaptations which are normally or could reasonably be worn or used."

(Descriptor) 8. At least once a week experiences:

(a) loss of control leading to extensive evacuation of the bowel and/or voiding of the bladder;

or

(b) substantial leakage of the contents of a collecting device sufficient to require the individual to clean themselves and change clothing."

Of The SG Activities/Descriptors.

At the time I applied for ESA I also applied for PIP as you can see I have had my esa assessment but have heard nothing from the pip claim, is there a connection ?

Hi EC,

No I do not think that there is any connection !!

ESA and PIP are assessed by different Assessment Providers and different DWP Departments.

We have noticed a slowing down in The PIP Assessment Process since the New Year !!

If you are going to make any queries regarding PIP, please start a separate topic !!
