Hi

Does anyone know please is ir possible to change the font size of the text in PDF version of ESA 50?

I am cutting pasting the text to my answers on the form using text from my previous claim but it won't fit. Is there a way of making the text smaller? I have tried pasting the text into Word and variois emails to change the font size but I can't paste it back into the PDF with the smnaller font.

Thanks for any help.

I'm afraid you can't, it's locked.

It is perfectly OK for you to type your answers and attach them as extra pages to the ESA50, just make sure that each page has your full name and NIN at the top and that they are numbered, we recommend "page X of Y" so that it is easy to see if pages are missing. Make sure you clearly mark on the form where your answers are and on the relevant page that you are answering question X.

Attach the pages to the back of the ESA50 using a staple or make a hole in the top left corner and use a treasury tag, string or ribbon to the form. The pages need to be easily detached so that they can be scanned by the DWP.

OK, thanks Gordon.

I seem ton recall that previous versions of this form had text that used to reduce its size automagically to fit into the answer box. Am I recalling correctly?

You are but unfortunately, claimants prioritised getting the content in over font size and regularly submitted ESA50s with the font down at 3 or 4 points.
