Re Support Group Descriptor ?

From your previous posts, your claim has already been referred to the Tribunal Service, so it should not be more than a week or two before they contact you about it, so I would wait until there, so that anything you write is sent to the DWP by the TS as this will make it more likely that a DWP DM will look for it.

I cannot tell you what to include in detail, but I will do my best to give you some ideas on what to might say.

You need to explain to the Tribunal why you believe you meet the criteria for the Support Group, so for each descriptor you should show how you meet the specifics of the descriptor and what medical evidence supports your case.

Go back to the ESSA Claim guides and use them to help you explain your condition(s).

You should include a specific paragraph, near the front, referring to the Decision Makers comments that you meet the SG criteria for Manual Dexterity, make sure that the document that includes this is in the papers that the Tribunal Service have.

I would still recommend that you write the letter we discussed in earlier posts. It should be sent to the Tribunal Service who will copy it the DWP.
