    Hi @nannyplum and a big welcome from me. Filling in forms isn't one of my favourite things either, I understand you wanting help!

    To get support with filling in the ESA50 form, you can try a couple of things:
    • Look at this Citizens Advice webpage that breaks down how to fill in each section
    • Visit Advice Local to find free, independent welfare advice close to where you live
    • Call Scope's free helpline to get support from one of our friendly team on Phone: 0808 800 3333.  They are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 6pm. And most bank holidays.  But are currently closed for maintenance and training from Friday 23 July to Tuesday 30 July at 9am.
    Has your son already applied for ESA and is there any particular bit of the form you're concerned about? 

    Just to let you know, I've amended your thread title and moved it to our ESA category to help others spot your question and offer advice.  Good luck!
