This is a paragraph from the medical assessors personalised summary statement .

It certainly does and it is certainly something to raise, but anomalies like this won't win you your appeal, just devalue the report.

The "non functional descriptors" are the Exemption and Exceptional Circumstances Regulations. The former refers to a set of conditions that allow automatic qualification, as an example; receiving some types of cancer treatment would come under this heading. The latter refers specifically to Regulations 29 and 35 which provide a catch all for claimants who have significant health problems but do not match any of the "normal" descriptors.

Both of these are explained in more detail in the ESA Claim guide.
