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 :smile:

    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.
