ESA50 01/13 Questionaire

NB Question 1 Moving around and using steps
Question asks How far can you move safely and repeatedly on level ground without needing to stop?
I just spotted that when going to tick box for "50 metres" it doesn't state "50 metres or less"
So in ticking this box I would have been saying I can do 50 metres when can't!

Hi M123,

Welcome to Benefits and Work

As with all the tick boxes in the ESA50, if you feel that non of the options provided are applicable to your own limitations, you don't have to tick them.

Instead, you could write something like, "non of the tick box options are applicable, please see information below" (or on an added A4 if you want to go into more detail)

Make the ESA50 fit in with your limitations rather than the other way round.

I don't know whether you are using the PDF ESA50, if not, you may wish to consider doing so, as it does have advantages :

Using The PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire

You should refer to the corresponding section of the ESA Claims Guides under the heading of :
