PDF VERSION OF NEW ESA 50 ?

The prospect of yet another version of the ESA 50 terrifies me. I am simply not physically able to complete the form in the given four weeks even when the time between learning of migration and receipt of the form is taken into account. I have already transferred and adapted information from the older ESA 50 to the 1/13 form…and now there’s a 10/13….? Dear Mods, this is troubling news for me and many others members and non-members.

Hi Gordon, thanks for the swift reply. Yes, I received it last week.

On the front cover it is labelled

ESA50 10/13

and on the reverse

ESA50RAMBVMS_102013_006_001

Is Benefits and Work aware that there is a new ESA50, dated 10/13 on the form? It is different to the one linked above, obviously on pages 2 and 3, but I don't know if there are other differences.

Is it possible for someone from B&W to check to whether it's just cosmetic changes, or anything that affects the guides you produce?

What does the DWP expect claimants to do when the online form is out of date?

Has anyone found a link to the ESA50 10/13?

Many thanks.


Even if the change no more than a data I think ATOS/DWP expect the PDF version one submits to match the paper form sent out.

Worrying.
:(

Have you received this form?

We are not aware of a change to the ESA50, this is normally linked to a change in the ESA legislation and this has not happened, although this does not mean that a new form has not been issued.

A quick search shows does not indicate an updated form anywhere online, the electronic version is still the 01/13 version and there is no new form showing on the DWP web site.

Gordon,

Now that we know there is an ESA 10/13 doing the rounds can you confirm (or therwise) that a claimant using the PDF version must submit a form with the same date as the paper version issued by ATOS? Also, can you guess from experience when the new form will appear online? I cannot imaagine how I will cope if there's no PDF available when my migration begins.

Thanks,

MW

Hi all

With no visibility of this form at the moment, there is not much we can do, however, given that the electronic version has not been updated and there are no changes to the legislation (I have just checked), it may mean that there are only cosmetic changes.

Mari if you are currently completing an ESA50 due to a re-assessment, then this will have no impact on you, having been issued an 01/13 version you will not be required to now complete a 10/13 version.

We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.

Gordon,

I'm still waiiting for my turn to be migrated from an old benefit. Puting together the information I have and then transfering it to the 1/13 form has taken so long...
