Hi ml,

It is pages 25 and 28 of this guide "Understanding Employment and Support Allowance

Our 42 page introductory guide to ESA."

Under this heading :"New ESA50 form", on this page :

ESA Claims Guides

When you click on the link, it will download as a Pdf, you can then save it to your PC for ease of reference.

For your reference also, here are the :

SG (LCWRA)Schedule 3 Descriptors

And The Exceptional Circumstances Rules :

ESA Reg 35 for entry to The SG (LCWRA)

PLUS Post 28/01/13 Amendment of :

(3) In regulation 35(1) (certain claimants to be treated as having limited capability for work-related activity)(6), for sub-paragraph (b) substitute—

“(b)the claimant is-

(i)receiving treatment for cancer by way of chemotherapy or radiotherapy;

(ii)likely to receive such treatment within six months after the date of the determination of capability for work-related activity; or

(iii)recovering from such treatment,

and the Secretary of State is satisfied that the claimant should be treated as having limited capability for work-related activity; or”.

From :

You can qualify for The SG, by fulfilling at least one of The SG Descriptors, or under ESA Reg 35.
