ESA was created by mmurph64
Does anyone have experience of filling in and submitting an application for ESA on behalf of someone with autism? I have a 32 year old son with an autistic spectrum disorder who is proving very reluctant to apply for ESA. I have been trying to get him to apply for 3 years.
Any comments ,experiences or advice would be welcome.

Why is he reluctant to make a claim?
