Thanks for your help.

Got her the ESA (work-related activity group). Then the rules changed and, because she had now been on contribution-based ESA for over a year, she lost her ESA again. Now we’re arguing that her current condition demands that she be put in the support group. Apparently these appeals are taking an absolute age to be processed by DWP - even before they get to Tribunals Service.
