    Getting income based means geting the necessary points and alos being eligible on income. Also of course it isn't the diagnosis that matters but whether someone could be expected at some point to be able to work or not.

    I very much doubt she'll be able to work again to be honest. Unless she has a body transplant lol
  • Dont mean to sound mean but it isnt based on your opinion, or even a diagnosis, its based on the points system for ESA.

    It may be worth looking up the descriptors for ESA and seeing which ones you think apply.
