New guides to ESA-? was created by CAT_FANATIC
Possibly this should be in a different forum/thread but this is the only one I can access 
I'm finding the site a little difficult to navigate so I'm sorry if these are questions I ought to know the answers to-
-Are there any up to date guides for the*new* ESA50 questionnaire?
- e.g., a guide to filling it in; to the points awarded on the questions; and an online 'sample test' (the one I can find under "take our questionnaire to see if you would pass' is an old one.)
Also, are there examples of the new questions on the computer-based test that they use in face-to-face assessments?
Thankx

Thanks.
The page I was on is
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/employment-and-support-allowance
and it's on there that the 'try our test' is out of date, I think, as it doesn't show the new question on women needing different descriptors to men on 'danger/risk to self'.

This is the general information available on ESA, the guides are only available through the link I posted or the Members Only Guides link.
The changes you refer to are only to the ESA guidance issued by the DWP, the ESA legislation, Regulations and Descriptors have not been changed which is why there has been no changes to the ESA online test.
