    You might want to point out that "they" have broken the Data Protection Act by giving you the name of a claimant with whom you have no relationship so would be grateful if they could provide correct forms asking for correct information without you having to report them to the Commissioner, " as you do not wish to cause trouble."
    Bearing in mind that it is a massive fine for what they have done they may become a bit more helpful. .

    Hi @Maisy05,

    Have you considered contacting your local Citizens Advice for help with the ESA form? You can also find more information about Employment Support Allowance and the forms on their website, which might be helpful as well.
