I have run a quick test and can confirm that version XI of reader will allow you to save changes made to the new ESA50, but only as a new document.
However, on my system I am still missing the additional tick boxes, and there is no solution to the problem where the amount of text exceeds the siz of the text box, although I am not surpised at the latter, as I suspect this is down to the definition of the form and not anything to do with Reader.
I had to manually download and install the XI version of Reader, it was not shown as an update on my Reader X install.

I have the same problem with tick boxes missing.
I just copied and pasted a load of text from my previous ESA50 and it fitted into the space on the new ESA50, it then put scroll bars on the side of the text block.

So if they can consider "Any Aid" then that effectively removes the possibility of scoring any points for the mobility descriptor, because they can consider electric wheel chairs or electric scooters can be used by anybody?
Nothing has changed with regard to powered wheelchairs and scooters, for the purposes of the ESA Mobility test these are not classed as an aid of an appliance.

I think that the technical department at the DWP should be made aware of the problems.
What do others think?

Hi WD,
My only comment would be, that the more people that contact the Helpdesk regarding any problems they are suffering, the more likely it is that any problems will be rectified quickly.
