Question about filling in form ESA50

k9feline

Welcome to the forum.

A lot of our members are struggling to find relevant evidence to support their claims, however, many are still successful, so don't give up hope.

Do you see your GP regularly? If so then you can ask them to help you with the claim. You could request a report from them concerning your condition, or failing that, you can get a copy of your medical records from the practice and see if any of this can be used.

Have you ever seen a Consultant, etc. in relation to your problems, even if was some time ago? There should be copies of any letters they sent your GP in your notes, as above.

Are you on medication? A regular prescription for a relevant medication, would help support your case.

With regard to the ESA50, you will need to think a little out of the box! So give some thought, not just about how your disabilities affect you, but what assumptions might be made because of what you have said, or not said. Have a look at the WCA Handbook in the Members only area, on how the ATOS "doctor" will assess you.

Hopefully some of the members in a similar situation will add their own suggestion s to your thread.
