and sorry, i didn't know that i cannot post here.
It is not a hard and fast rule but if you are asking a lot of questions it makes sense to keep them together so that that you and the Moderators can review what has already been said.
Although we have three Mods on today for this session, I have not stopped typing since the forum opened at 2pm, so if I end up duplicating content that has already been posted, it wastes yours and all the other members posting time.

Hi k,
I don't think Gordon was complaining
All the Mods have health conditions, and just as with our members we have some days where we are on the ball, and some days where we struggle to write a few simple sentences.
We are all volunteers, and act as Mods as we are gratified by helping other sick and disabled people.
Positive feed back is much appreciated by us all.

Questions, please help.
Face-to-face assessment are there any warnings in completing this part?
What will happen if we put “I will be unable to have face to face assessment due to my mental and physical health conditions”?
Can we put PLEASE SEE ATTACHED ADDITIONAL INFO into use provided space and attach info to page 17? Shall we send a copy of DLA entitlement letter with the ESA form?
Thanks

It may be that ATOS will decide, based on your ESA50 and the evidence attached, that you do not require a face to face assessment, however, if they do; then you will need to attend in order to avoid your claim being closed. It may be possible to arrange a home assessment, this is still at the discretion of ATOS and will need the support of your GP who will need to contact ATOS to explain why you cannot attend at one of their HealthCare centres.
You can attach your DLA award letter, but be aware that the ESA tests are more strict that those for DLA, so at best it will indicate a general level of disability.
Good luck
Gordon

Thank you Gordon for managing to squeeze fast reply at the last minute!
Can we put PLEASE SEE ATTACHED ADDITIONAL INFO into "use provided space" and attach info to page 17? (ticking or not the small boxes)?

Hi k,
Yes, you can refer to any attached added pages in the space provided in The ESA50 Form, as you suggest.
Make sure that you put your Name,NI Number and DOB at the top of any extra added pages. This will help in case any of the added pages become detached from The ESA50.
Don't forget to keep copies of all that you send, including The ESA50 itself.
