ESA assessment and sight loss query was created by KPPurple
Hi there, I hope someone can help me with a question regarding my upcoming ESA assessment. I know that my vision will be tested during the assessment, particularly when it comes to reading print. I used to use a magnifier to assist with reading, but I can no longer do so because my vision has become blurry. This means it takes me much longer to read, as the text is so zoomed in that the magnifier only reads a section of the paragraph or sentence at a time. During the assessment, will I be required to use a magnifier, even if it is reasonable to assume that I could? I’m concerned that I may lose points if I choose not to use one. Thank you for your help!

Hi KPPurple

Will they be testing your vision? I didn't even know they would do that. If you can't use a magnifier to read, you shouldn't try and use one if offered.

Hi BIS,
Yes according to the guides that I’ve read here they will.
