ESA Home Assessment

Benefits and Works have set up an online 'home assessment' form for people to fill it out, and be told the group they should be put into.

Takes about 10 minutes and they will send an EMail if required.

You don't have to give any personal details and it's free - although the site does charge if you wish to become a full member and get more detailed help/advice (about £20 per year).

Obviously, it's not binding, and any actual answers you give would need to be medically backed up when it comes to the real assessment, but it does give an indicator of your likely result.

You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)

    Has to be the most worthless piece of software in the history of mankind.

    Pretty much every claimant will give themselves enough points to be put in the Support Group.

    All this does is raise peoples expectations - when they get disallowed with zero points they are going to feel hard done by when in reality its a fair result.

    I agree - if someone wants a certain answer, they will convince themselves that they fit the given criteria. This is especially so with the changes to those on CB ESA in the WRAG.

    Typical Benefits and Work propoganda - I wouldn't be surprised if people tried to submit their results as part of the appeals process!

    Support group, apparently. However, it does depend on what day / time I do this on - as my conditions vary.
