ESA Descriptors
7 years 8 months ago #167125 by Gordon
I actually say to echo the language used in the Descriptors
So for example; ESA uses the phrase "significant discomfort" to describe pain, but there is nothing wrong with the example you have used, just remember you also need to explain why.

In one of Gordons answers he used the term 'echo the descriptors'. Does this mean that I should quote a particular descriptor e.g. for question 16 on ESA50 Coping with social situations.
Would it be helpful for me if i stated:
'Engagement in social contact with someone unfamiliar to the claimant is not possible for majority of the time due to difficulty relating to others or significant distress experienced by the individual'
(I would change the word 'claimant' and 'individual' and would use 'myself').
Is this echoing the descriptors?
Kind regards
