ESA50 - TL,DR - If answers are "too long", will DWP not bother reading?

ESA50 - TL,DR - If answers are "too long", will DWP not bother reading? was created by Faith
Hi,
As I have seven health conditions that I have to write about, in answer to the ESA50 questions, my answers are far too long to fit into the boxes on the form so I attach extra sheets of paper to the form.
I have to write about 50 pages so I use a small font size to lessen the total length, as I don't want DWP to decide TL,DR (it's too long to read). However, I've just scanned one of my pages and noticed that, in the scanned version, the text is too small to read. By contrast, the medical evidence, that I'm including with my form, is in larger font sizes so will be readable.
Is DWP likely to zoom in, to make my answers readable, or are they likely to not bother reading my answers, and only read the medical evidence? Should I use a larger font size, to make my answers easier to read, even though that will greatly increase the total number of pages?
Any input greatly appreciated!

Hi Gordon,
Thank you very much for the info and ideas.
There is no way I can face, or have time to write, brief summaries. Also, they would make my answers even longer.
What font do you use?
Big thanks
