My esa 50 03/11 form appears different to the one in b&w guide. Also it differs from the one on the DWP website. I have no question asking me if I can pick up and move objects at waist level. Any Ideas?

Thanks for yours and other replies. My form Does have "picking up and moving things". I was asking because the information on B&W to help complete this form has "picking up and moving things on the same level".
Just wanted to clear that up thanks.

The questions on the ESA50 are a "loose" interpretation of the ESA descriptors as written in the legislation, the guides are based on these actual descriptors, the guidance to ATOS "doctors", DWP guidance to Decision Makers and where relevant applicable Case Law, so there can differences between you what you are asked on the form and what you are actually tested against.Hi Gordon,
