Hello everyone

This is my first post so please be kind.

My question is:-

Is the ESA medical different from the IB medical? I know the forms you have to fill in have changed and the point scoring system has changed but i was just wondering if the medicals are any different? From what they ask you to how they score your points?

Thanks for any help

kind regards

Nick

Details of the PCA for IB purposes is detailed in the guides "The Best Possible Incapacity for Work Claims on Mental Health Grounds" and "The Best Possible Incapacity for Work Claims on Physical Health Grounds" in the incapacity for work claims section HERE. .

Details of the WCA for ESA purposes is included in the guides "Employment and Support Allowance claims for Mental Health and Learning Difficulties: a guide to the limited capability for work assessment" and "Employment and Support Allowance claims on physical health grounds: a guide to the limited capability for work assessment" in the ESA resources section HERE.
