Hi,Is the form an ESA50 (capability for work questionnaire) or an ESA3? it will tell you on the front of the form.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.

Just want a bit of help with it -
Do a search to see what's in your area for help filling out the form. CAB or welfare rights maybe. If not then this guide may help you.You need to put as much information down on the form as possible about how your conditions affect you. The more information the better. Send evidence to support your claim because they rarely contact anyone for this, the onus is on you to make sure it's sent. There's no points for being placed into the support Group, it's about satisfying at least one of the support group descriptors, detail here.You need to make sure that form is returned no later than the date stated in the letter. Failing to return it by that date could see your money being stopped for failing to return the form. There's no extra time for returning the ESA50 form.Expect another face to face assessment as most people have them. I've actually had another face to face assessment for my ESA a couple of weeks ago...daunting as always.Good luck.
