this form is really small, its pink and has only 20 pages, does someone know why that is? ive been on esa for many years and im sure each time ive had to reapply that its been a huge form. also can I be put straight back into the support group from this form? it seems to small to do anything with the answers I could fit. will I get a larger form after this one? what should I expect, ive been on support group esa with extra circumstances for amost 6 years, I have highly active RR multiple sclerosis. also could someone please send the link for the help to fill out my form, im so scared. thanks

Hi Z,

I have merged your duplicate posts into one topic, please try not to make duplicate posts.

Yes, the paper ESA50 that you receive through the post in rather small and pink.

You don't need a "sample" version, you can use the PDF version as explained below :

Using The PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire

Whilst referring to the guides on this page, 2nd & 3rd links down :

ESA Claims Guides

I'm so sorry for asking in two posts, I'm not very computer friendly. Is there a reason why I have been sent a smaller form as apposed to the larger one that I've had in the past? also could this indicate that I WILL receive a second, more in depth form? or is it a good thing and perhaps they have a lot of information from my previous claims which were all very successful.

many thanks

Hi

Its a standard form. If you need to you can continue your answers on extra sheets of paper.
Just make sure you label them clearly with your details and the question you are answering for the dear old DWP.

Have you received an ESA50N it could be an ESA50A?

This is usually only sent to members of the Support Group who the DWP view as having little chance of improvement, you should still be able to use the ESA guides to complete it and you should do so in detail and provide evidence as you can even if it has already been submitted.

The DWP can still send you a full ESA50 if they are not convinced that you still meet the SG criteria.

I'm afraid the PDF version of the ESA50 is not usable in these circumstances and there is no downloadable version of the ESA50N.
