Is it okay to send lots of extra pages with my ESA50 form?

The boxes on the form are just not big enough for me to say what i need to say. Even with the additional information box at the end. I have a real difficult time explaining things in a concise manner. I will be including lots of extra pages of text with the form. This will all be typed up as opposed to handwriting.

Will this be an issue?

Will they even read it?

Another question I have is, on the form they mention to include everything in black ink and capital letters. When I am typing everything up I have been using capital letters. Do I need to use all capital letters if it is typed up?

    Yes you can include extra sheets of paper, I always do. Make sure you put your name and NI number on everything. Also make sure you clearly state which question it refers to.

    I never use capital letters and I also type my answers too. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    I used on my form for each of the question that i needed to answer about my condition more the mental health which i think is the later questions, for each one i put in the question box see attached page and there was like 2 sides of a4 answering each one with lots of details and some examples and at the top make sure to put your name national insurance number and as poppy said the question it refers to. i wrote page x question x and what the question was called.    i also took photo copies of each page of my questionair and also copies of my answer pages my advisor also advised this as well
