Does CAB filling in ESA50 count as social contact?

It is difficult to give a definitive answer in these situations, but this type of contact would likely be classed as social contact, however, this may well be mitigated by your taking a companion with you, remember, taking a relative to work with you each day, is probably not a reasonable expectation.

I've been reading your guides and am worried that just by having CAB fill in the form it will count as "social contact" in the atos/dwp eyes. I have mental health problems and will be concentrating on those Anxiety/Depression/ptsd on the ESA50. I'm being moved over from Incapacity benefit and am very worried.
Also going to the Cab office with a companian as don't go out alone... would that count against me?
Many thanks.
