Hello
I'm so glad I've found this site, but my medical is tomorrow so I don't have long to prepare.

My conditions are purely mental health related - I scored 24 points on the self-assessment on this site - does that count towards getting ESA or do I need to have points on the physical side too?

You don't have to present with any physical illness/disability, and can accumulate the necessary points solely on the mental health descriptors.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
