On the face of it, the guy in the wheelchair wouldn't be eligible for ESA and that is according to the law. People in wheelchairs do not automatically qualify for ESA. He would still be receiving mobility DLA/PIP and once any mandatory reconsideration was over he could start the appeal process and get the assessment rate of ESA, along with Housing benefit etc.

I didn't obtain the information from a Metro link, but Denphone has kindly found a link for you about the relevant case.
This ridiculous decision has now been overturned, but it just shows what's being done to disabled people.
