The ME Association has some information (under DWP Universal Credit – A Guide to Applications).

The UC50 and ESA50 forms are identical.

With the Work Capability Assessment if a claimant cannot do an activity reliably, repeatedly, safely and in a timely manner for more than 51% of the time, they are treated as unable to do the activity.

I'd highly recommend getting help with filling in the forms.
