New strict ESA descriptors.

At assessment, many of the descriptors (the questions) often wont be addressed anyway, as the software is pre-programmed to ignore as many as possible.

What specifically do you think is harder to pass / stricter about the new rules?

I feel that in some ways for some people the new test will be easier to pass because it highlights the importance of a task being repeatable and so takes far more account of pain, fatigue etc.

For this reason, personally I think I am more likely to get into the support group with the new (post march 2011?) regulations as long as they are accurately applied.

Many of the mental health descriptors are removed.
Walking is now 'mobilising'.
Turning a star headed tap is now pressing a button, etc etc etc.

Does anyone know what happens if you're put in the work group? Do you have to go to the Job Centre and apply for jobs and such like? What happens if, like me, on an almost daily basis, you literally cannot get out of bed, never mind anything else? Can you have a home visit for your medical, like they do for DLA?
