Yes I would certainly get help filling out the ESA50. It's crucial to write a comprehensive one these days.

Agreed, too many people just tick the boxes - its really important to write as much in response to each activity you have difficulty with as possible, and also an overview of how your daily life in the extra information at the end of the form - this makes it harder for atos to misrepresent you at the medical - they may still try, but if you've written comprehensively on the esa50, its easier to convince a tribunal that your atos medical report is a joke.

Thanks for replying

would it be worth recording medical if i have to go for one?

and surely me going back into hosp for more surgery,makes me not capable of work at the moment?
