Appeal

After winning my appeal to be placed in support
group from WRAG should I send my letter
from Tribunal service confirming the decision
to the dwp...

I have today been re reading my decision notice and was wondering if you could explain the wording. (think i was so pleased that I had won I didnt really read it properly)

4. In applying the Work Capability Assessment 15 points were scored from the activities and descriptors in
Schedule 2 of the ESA Regulations 2008 made up as follows:

1 (a)

5. The following activity and descriptor from Schedule 3 of the ESA Regulations 2008 applied:

1 (ii)

Many thanks in advance

Hi MF,

ESA Schedule 2 (WRAG) Descriptors :

"1. Mobilising unaided by another person with or without a walking stick, manual wheelchair or other aid if such aid can reasonably be used.

1(a)Cannot either:

(i)mobilise more than 50 metres on level ground without stopping in order to avoid significant discomfort or exhaustion;

or

(ii)repeatedly mobilise 50 metres within a reasonable timescale because of significant discomfort or exhaustion."

Although this gives you 15 Points in The WRAG Descriptors,it also gives you entry to The SG.

So It is the same descriptor as Activity 1 of The Schedule 3 (SG) Descriptors :

" 1. Mobilising unaided by another person with or without a walking stick, manual wheelchair or other aid if such aid can reasonably be used.
Cannot either:

(a)mobilise more than 50 metres on level ground without stopping in order to avoid significant discomfort or exhaustion;

or

(b)repeatedly mobilise 50 metres within a reasonable timescale because of significant discomfort or exhaustion.2

So you have qualified for The SG, on the Moving Around "Mobilising" Descriptor.

A note, in passing, it should actually state ESA Regs 2011, not 2008, as the Regs were amended then.

We have seen this with quite a few members, they must be using "old stock" paper work.

It should not be of any significance though.
