Explain my esa appeal award

Hi I am hoping someone can explain in plain English what the following means
I am entitled to esa work related. Activity
The work capability assessment 18 points were scored from activities and descriptors in schedule 2

1 mobilising unaided/ 6 points
15 getting about / 6 points
16 coping with social engagement/ 6 points

5 no schedule 3 applied regulation 35 did not apply

No reassessment for 24 months

At this time I suffer from severe arthritis in my upper and lower limbs and depression, my daughter couldn't attend and someone from cab stepped in

Thanks

    You've been placed in the work related activity group. They explain where you were awarded points, and that none of the special circumstances that would place you in the support group apply.

    You willing not be reassessed for 24 months from the date of the original decision. You should expect to receive a new ESA50 form approx six months before that (may be closer to the renewal date depending on how busy the DWP are).
