Or am I missing something (which tbh is quite probable, but sure I haven't ;o)

This is their post -

' Have you taken your needs assessment?

Find and address the needs that are potentially affecting your health and wellbeing

This is equivalent to the test the government use to assess our needs - they haven't taken head injury into account. They should know better, surely !!!

It doesn't say what I was referring to - Grrrrrrrr. It was the needs assessment which is as bad as the ESA one & irrelevant to our needs

Oh sorry, it did say & the test I am referring to is actually below ;o)

Hello my lovely,

It is very distressing when we are put on the spot to explain any needs our injury has caused, especially for an assessment. It doesn’t matter how innocent the assessment is. It can make an individual feel as though they are having to prove something.

As for the DWP regarding ESA, they should be disgusted. After the experiences we have lived through we shouldn’t have to give in-depth details to obtain support. What we have been through medically and the effects it has had on our general daily life should be enough.

I completely agree that this assessment could cause anxiety and stress which then enhances pain and anxiety. Assessments can make individuals feel like they’re under scrutiny. I understand what you are saying my friend.

I wish you peace, happiness, good health and good luck.
