F2F unavailability. was created by Gareth56
In answer to the question on the ESA50 form:-
"Please tell us about any times or dates in the next 3 months when you cannot go to a face-to-face assessment."
Obviously you need to give any dates but do you also need to give the reasons for being unavailable for a F2F assessment?

If it doesn't ask for a reason then you don't have to supply one.

Hi Gordon
It doesn't ask for a reason it just gives an example i.e.
Quote:-"Please tell us about any times or dates in the next 3 months when you cannot go to a face-to-face assessment.
For example, because of a hospital appointment.
Some claimants may construe that you must also provide a reason. However as you say if it doesn't explicitly ask for a reason therefore none should be given just the dates.
