In order to be successful at your Tribunal you will need to show that you meet sufficient of the ESA Descriptors to score at least 15 points or that you meet the criteria for Regulation 29. This would result in a WRAG placement. The requirements for the Support Group are more strict.

As you are a new user I would recommend that you start by reading two of our guides, Firstly have a look at the ESA MR & Appeal guide, which covers the process in detail and subjects such as collecting evidence and writing an appeal. The second you should read are our ESA Claim guides (2 docs). Both are on the following link.

Good practice for those appealing

Based on your post, you either need to concentrate on Regulation 29 or expand the areas that you might score points for. The Standing and Sitting Descriptor as you have, admittedly briefly, described your problems will not result in an ESA award. The claim guides explain the criteria in more detail.

I am a bit limited in providing more advice without further information. If you have any questions then please reply to this post and we do our best to help.
