Transferring from one seated position to another.Cannot move between one seated position and another seated position located next to one another without receiving physical assistance from another person.

Support group descriptors
Qualifying for the support group of employment and support allowance (ESA)is not about scoring points. Instead, if the decision maker accepts that any of the following descriptors apply to you, then you will be placed in the support group.

If you think the decision is wrong you can request a Mandatory Reconsideration. You will need to explain what your difficulty is, what happens if you try to do this etc.1
