Hi Guys!
Just wanted to know your opinion on this? Is it OK to quote a descriptor.
When filling out the ESA50 form and answering questions about your disabilities; should/can you state for example: i am blind and fulfill discriptor7 cannot understand a simple message from a stranger such as the location of a fire escape; being blind i am unable to see the written sign fire escape can this go in your reply.
Or would they think you know to much info about the criteria required.
I do sometimes feel that the so called professionals need a light shining on the obvious!!
By the way i have never expressed my gratitude for your efforts on my behalf before except a thank you. But without you guys especially Gordon and Bro58 i would have sunk months ago your help and support has helped me survive this continual need to justify yourself and your disability again and again. Thanks all of you.
Regards Matchseller.

You're welcome ms ! :)

Yes, it is fine to quote the actual Activity/Descriptor/s that you feel apply to you giving reasons and cross referencing to any medical evidence that you are providing.

In the case of a re-assessment it would also be helpful to draw attention to the Activity/Descriptor/s that gave you the award last time (if you are aware of them) stating that you feel that you still qualify under the same Activity/Descriptor/s, as your medical conditions have not improved, nor have your resulting limitations diminished since that time.
