ESA50 - Sending support info.

Hi
I cannot find answer in FAQ.Could you please advise if support information(hospital /consultants letters etc.) can be sent with the ESA50 form.I have been given conflicting advice on this -have been told that this can only be done when appealing a decision but also told to send as much supporting evidence as possible from the start.This is for transfer from I.B. to E.S.A.
Thanks for any help

Hi L,

You are allowed to, and should, where possible send copies all the relevant medical evidence/reports/letters of support, that you have, or can obtain, with your ESA50.

Have you considered : Using The PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire ?

Whilst referring to our ESA Claims Guides for physical and mental health conditions, which are the 3rd and 4th links down this page :
