Substantial risk ESA was created by Maggie
Dear Gordon,
Sorry to take up your time again. I've been trying to look at the tightened up substantial risk guidelines I have to meet. Last time I seem to remember a list of risk factors such as whether you lived alone, had made previous suicide attempts, number of psychiatric admissions or hospitalisation for overdoses & medical treatment for self harm, gender(although this is rubbish: men use more violent & successful methods, women make more attempts in general).
Sorry this is a distressing topic but this is what I ' live' with . Do I really have to prove my level of distress. Tonight its been abuse of cadents triggering me.
My question is : has this been removed or am I muddled with PIP? I can't find it in the guides p22. I'm not really thinking clearly.
Many thanks. Susie

The current ESA Claims due to Mental Health has a section More on the very important ‘substantial risk’ rules.
For ESA, Substantial Risk has two aspects, first there has to be a substantial risk of harm, so yes, I'm afraid you need to go into detail as to why this is a problem for you.
Secondly you need to show that the risk is associated with your working (for the WRAG) or Work Related Activity (for the SG)., there is a list of WRA that a claimant might be asked to do in the guide.
