Is it ok to use old answers on ESA50? was created by bandw2012
I have received an ESA50 to complete. My last assessment was in January 2013. At that time I downoaded the PDF and typed my answers (which I find easier to do than writing).

I've read through my previous answers and I feel that very little has changed between then and now. So I was wondering if it would be acceptable to copy and paste some of the answers and submit them with the current ESA50? Or would this be frowned upon or flagged as suspicious?

Thanks in advance for any advice. x

There's no specific problem with you using the information from your last ESA50 it's very unlikely that they will refer to your previous form but there were changes to the ESA Descriptors in early 2013 and there have been a number of updates to the DWP guidance since then so you need to check our ESA Claim guides to make sure that what you have written is still relevant.
