The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you are using our ESA Claim guides, they explain the criteria that you are being assessed against.
Next, try and adopt a standard approach to answering the questions, there is a "formula" in the guides for doing this.
So start by making a short list of each of the ESA activities of the problems that you have and why you have them, then mark them in the order that you are most affected,.
So as an example; perhaps you have Rheumatoid Arthritis in your shoulders and Fibromyalgia in your back, the FM prevents you from raising your hands above your head and the RA from touching your head, as the RA has the more severe effect then you should mention this first and then explain about how the FM impacts on you second.
