That's fine by me Shawn, as long as the 3 agencies are creditted appropriately.

As i said, its an easy-read version so it aims to take a claimant through the very basic requirements of them when they make a claim for ESA. Thus, it does not aim to cover any of the rules of entitlement in any great detail at all, but hopefully it will serve to assist people with learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorders when they encounter this new process.

We would welcome any feedback that people have.
