ESA Appeal with no points

Hello, I have a client who has Trigeminal Neuralgia which is a very debilitating condition, which causes her severe headaches and pains in her neck.  Although she does not fit into any of the descriptors, she is affected by hot and cold air and completely unpredictable loud noises. She has suffered with involuntary episodes of lost or altered consciousness, but not twice in six months before the assessment.  Can anybody help me with any pointers for the appeal. Thanks DRN.

i have two friends with that condition, nasty

my feeling is it’ll be Reg 29 (2) (b) would be your best bet

there is a support group, i can find you the contact details if you would like?

I would agree that Reg 29 (2) (b) is your best bet. I had a lady who was an alcoholic, drinking a ltr of vodka a day.
Despite this she received 0 points at medical!

Client won the appeal on the basis of Reg 29 (2) (b) and was placed in the support group whilst she undergoes detox etc.
