ESA assessments

Hi Bron

Have a look at our comprehensive guide to completing the form. Try and take one question a day to try and lessen the strain a bit. benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/esa

If you have any specific questions once you've started - come back and ask and we will try and help.

Hi Bron

They are not trick questions, if your form is for a renewal, did you keep your previous form, if you did use it as a template to fill in the new form.

If you did not keep a copy then the best way to complete the form is to take your time and complete only a few at a time, take frequent breaks between each question and take your time.

Remember with ESA assessments you cannot ask for an extension unlike PIP, so make sure you send the form off in time, send the form by recorded delivery and keep the receipt safe so that you can check it has been received by DWP.

Hi Bron

There is no such thing as a stupid question

Unless there is a barcode on the front page then no you do not need to include the original form, some timesa date is stamped on the front cover in which case switch the pages over.

You can down load the UC50 form from the Gov website.

Yes it will be fine to stick the envelope on to another envelope, make sure you send all your hard work by recorded delivery and keep a copy of your form in case it gets lost.
