Mine just says would not be a substantial risk if they were found capable of work or work Related Activity.

Based on that then there's a high chance you'll be found fit for work, even though it states you walking that distance to the assessment room. For the moibilising descriptor for both groups then they do take into consideration your ability to use a self propel wheelchair, it's not just about the distance you can walk.



Descriptors for both groups here.

Yeah was thinking the same... she also said in the report that I couldn’t sit for more then 30 mins and I had to stand up and sit back down which I can’t do that’s the only 2 descriptors she put the truth

All you can do is wait for the decision and if you're found fit for work then request the MR within 1 month of the decision.


Do be aware that if you're claiming Income Related ESA (without the severe disability premium) then you'll be advised to claim Universal Credit. If you claim this then you won't be able to go back onto ESA.

Then you won't be able to claim UC.


Fingers crossed for you that the decision will at least be WRAG. Hopefully you won't be waiting too long, good luck.
