I too was worried because of all the horror stries i'd heard but in reality it wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined it would be.
My wife got a report from her support worker, (not sure of correct title). Reading the report from her alone should have been enough and it was.
She was put on the support group.

I was lucky I got transferred from Income Support to ESA with no medical. Yet no somebody worse than me that has been refused. I put a lot of detail in the questionnaire. Never had supporting medical letters either.0
