Realised after reading other peoples comments & CAB hubby has filled his medical forms for ESA in incorrectly.
Think he should of written upto A 50m instead of varies.
Basically answered/ticked wrong box.
What do we do.? ?
He doesn't walk far . Selected various and wrote "some days I do nothing, I Can walk up to 20m with sticks, on longer distances I use a wheelchair but this has to lifted in and out of the house and car because of arthritis in my shoulders and arms. I can use crutches when I have no leg but I've been advised not to '
What he meant was he can't walk far because of the pain in both legs ( ones amputated and other has arthritis) he uses a wheelchair on longer distances meaning I push him in his wheelchair if it's the length of our cul du sac for example. He can't propel himself other than around the house for the pain in his shoulders.
He also forgot to say he can't stand for more than 5mins because of the pain in both legs. Or that He can sit in an armchair but continuously fidgets because his legs and feet hurt. And he can't sit at a table long enough to eat a meal without constant pain.

Medical forms were sent last week 15/01/24
No assessment date yet.
It's very unlikely he'll work full time ever again.
