The ESA50 form does'nt ask if you are going to be away from home.It asks "tell us times or dates when you cannot go to a face-to-face assesment".It could be that your "carer" is away or not available on the dates you give.It does'nt ask why you won't be available.

That is true. However, people on - or applying for - ESA are supposed to inform DWP of any ocasions they will be away from home overnight.

But the ESA40 pamphlet does

I never knew or ever heard that i was to let anyone know if i was going away from home. I am claiming the transfer fro Incapacity Benifit to ESA and needed to tell them a date that i wouldn't be available for a medical but i just had a look at the pamphlet that came with the my letter and ther is nothing on there about informing them when you go away
