Hi f,

The "NEW" ESA50 01/2013, still has 7 questions 11 to 17 inclusive under the Part 2 – Mental, cognitive and intellectual functions section.

However it then has Part 3: Eating and drinking at question 18.

You can view the new ESA50 01/2013 by downloading one from the link on this page :

Using The PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire

However, if you have received the "OLD" ESA50 03/11, that is the one that you must fill in and return by the deadline date given.

You should use the guides under this heading :

"Old' ESA50 form, decision on or after 28 Jan 2013"

Hi f,

Here is a link to the PDF version of the old ESA50 03/11, if you wish to use that : Old ESA50 03/11 PDF

You must save it to your P.C. first, all the other information on this FAQ is still relevant for the ESA50 03/11 :
