ESA- Indicators of substantial risk was created by Orangeblossom
I noticed that the more recent guide for ESA on MH grounds doesn't seem to contain the previous section on 2015 guide- Indicators of substantial risk for health professionals.
Is this because it no longer applies? Thank you.

Yes there was a significant update to the DWP guidance a couple of months ago.

Thank you. Does this mean the assessors just have to use their own judgement as to who the risk applies to in practice do you know?

See pages 21-24 of the ESA Claim for Mental Health reasons.
