Substantial risk ESA

Substantial risk ESA was created by Maggie
Dear Gordon,
Sorry to take up your time again. I've been trying to look at the tightened up substantial risk guidelines I have to meet. Last time I seem to remember a list of risk factors such as whether you lived alone, had made previous suicide attempts, number of psychiatric admissions or hospitalisation for overdoses & medical treatment for self harm, gender(although this is rubbish: men use more violent & successful methods, women make more attempts in general).
Sorry this is a distressing topic but this is what I ' live' with . Do I really have to prove my level of distress. Tonight its been abuse of cadents triggering me.
My question is : has this been removed or am I muddled with PIP? I can't find it in the guides p22. I'm not really thinking clearly.
Many thanks. Susie

The current ESA Claims due to Mental Health has a section More on the very important ‘substantial risk’ rules.

For ESA, Substantial Risk has two aspects, first there has to be a substantial risk of harm, so yes, I'm afraid you need to go into detail as to why this is a problem for you.

Secondly you need to show that the risk is associated with your working (for the WRAG) or Work Related Activity (for the SG)., there is a list of WRA that a claimant might be asked to do in the guide.
