WCA - PIP Eating and Drinking
I know PIP and ESA serve different purposes but will the DM at DWP at least do a quick cross-check to see if I get PIP and the points given for certain activities before making a decision following the WCA ?

ESA50
By scoring a total of 15 points in any 'one' activity are you put by default into the limited capability for work related activities group or are there other considerations at play ? Is it down to the Health Assessor at the WCA or DWP ? ESA seems a lot more focused on specific tasks compared to PIP - how on earth do I get…
