Can I print my answers for my ESA 50 ?

Very quick question, I have been helping fill out my Partner's ESA50 for her, and I wanted to ask, As the spaces for answering are so small, I was wondering if anyone had just written in the space "See attached Sheet", and then just attached a typed sheet, listing the Questions, and their answers, obviously with the relevant claimant info printed on it ?
The reason I ask, is that my writing is not that good, and typing it out on the computer, and then printing it would make it much more legible than trying to fit as much as possible in the space, then writing out another sheet.
I just wondered if anyone had done this, and if the DWP get upset about it ?.
Many Thanks

Hi R,
Yes, your query regarding continuing on separate A4 pages is fine, many people do this.
Have you considered :
Using The PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire
Whilst referring to the guides under the heading of "ESA Claims and Appeals - Current forms"
On this page :
ESA Claims Guides

There is only one ESA50 in use, at least in principle, and the same form is used for both new claims and re-assessments, so there is not reason why you should not use the PDF version for your renewal.

It is entirely up to you, but we do have members who have used the PDF for a re-assessment and have had no problem with doing so and I am not aware of anybody who has used the PDF version and had the DWP complain.
