Hello
My husband is being investigated for neurological issues which related to short term memory, loosing words in sentences, struggle in unfamiliar situations, hand eye co ordination.
I am worried about the WCA and him not being eligible for the esa.
Can anyone help please with their experiences or with advice.

Hi @hornby73. Welcome to the community
The community benefits advisor may be able to offer some advice. The ESA category is also a good place to look for support.
I hope this is helpful. I know the uncertainty that comes along with these things is often very difficult. -
Hi @hornby73, and welcome! Sorry to hear that you're feeling worried- it can be a daunting thing to go through. Do you have an assessment date? Here is some more information about the WCA process which you may like to read.
