Recent updates/changes to the members guide to ESA claims

I notice the amazing B&W team have updated the guide again & am just wondering if you might know what the changes actually are (since the previous version)?
Reading it all anew will take me weeks & leave me totally incapacitated & carer will need to read it too which will take her away from important caring duties, so would rather not if we don’t have to.

I don't know if I've already posted this as I may have hit the Reply button in error, but the reason for the updated guide is the addition of 3 pages (pages 29-31) which is headed "Meeting the severe conditions criteria".

There is a News item linked to this updated guide www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/meeting-t...-conditions-criteria

Oh Wow thanks so much for that reply Robbie thats a huge help... so just conforming i understood you correctly - that was the change then, nothing else new?

Hi Cemily I'm sorry, I can't tell you. On another post, you've talked about additional pages, so I assume that you have recently completed your review form. We leave it up to members whether they want to use the guides when completing their forms. As moderators, we don't take part in compiling the guides, so I can't tell you specifically which parts may have changed. BIS

Hi BIS thanks for your reply, sorry my initial post wasnt very clear... I haven't done a review recently, I'm getting ready for one. We've always followed the guides they are incredibly helpful, wouldnt dream of doing an assessment without them. Used them every reassessment since 2012! But it's now getting that i cant read them and as my submission is already done - typed up in a word doc, the same answers every 2 yrs since 2012. So unless something has changed in the guide we can just copy previous answers this time - with minor edits.

So thats why I was hoping I could find out what the changes were, but Robbie has answered me on that which is such good news.

You mods are amazing so patient kind knowledgeable you are much appreciated all of you
