esa 50. 01/13 guide

Hi all,
recieved a form ESA 50 yesterday the new one with the cancer questions on the back page and also side effects your medication gives you on earlier front pages, think it has 01/13 written on bottom right.
I notice gordon has done a recent post refering to new ESA 50 and the old ones and a note that we should expect the boss here to have produced new guide lines by early next week.
Specific question, Gordon refers to Regulation 29 (exceptional circumstances) and I had a good look in the WCA Handbook last night here on the site but could find no updates.
Am I right in thinking a new WCA handbook will be coming out, and can we have the specific details relating to Regulation 29 so that ESA forms can be filled in accurately.
My cause for concern is this......... the taking or non taking of prescribed medcines to be considered by decision makers.
Now does this mean they will have a list of medcines that a claimant could take say for a mental Ilness, and if claimant is taking one on the list they assume claimant should be getting better and be able to work????.
All rather confusing.
Any help appreciated.
Kind regards article.
