ESA 'points'

I received my letter today confirming my ESA award.

People refer to how many points they have been awarded, in my letter there is no mention of these points. I am curious as to why not, does anybody know please

    You need to request a copy of the medical report to see what descriptors where used and then search the various sites that have them and their point worth to work out how many you have got. Although if you are happy with the group you are in then there really isn't much point doing it unless you wish to appeal against something.
    well today was a complete waste of make up :eek:

    Previous medical reports may be of use, in case the next medical report goes a different way.
    This, combined with the fact that they dispose of old information means I'd encourage everyone to get a full copy of their file, at least yearly.

    I have no complaints about the group I have been placed in, as there is nothing to appeal against I'm not worried about a medical report. It's just that the way people refer to their points, I thought you were automatically informed. Thanks for your replies
