O.K. Mark,

So you have now grasped how to pose a query to your topic thread.

If you now Bookmark or Favourite this page in your internet browser, (usually done at top right of your browser) you will have a link to find it again quickly.

It helps the Moderators if you can keep all your queries to this one topic thread, as we can then see what advice has been given previously.

Firstly, qualifying for ESA is a lot different to IB, so you may like to start by reading the following document :

"Being transferred from incapacity benefit to employment and support allowance. A 22 page guide to the transfer process."

At the top of this page :

ESA Claims Guides

And this document :

"Understanding Employment and Support Allowance
Our 42 page introductory guide to ESA."

Further down, on the same page.

As you will see you first receive a letter, then a phone call, (which you don't have to take) then the ESA50 Questionnaire.

If you have received the ESA50 Questionnaire, then you must fill it in and return it to ATOS by the deadline given.

You may wish to consider :

Using The PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire

Whilst referring to the ESA Claims Guides under the heading :

"New ESA50 form"

On the same ESA Claims Guides page as above.

See also :

How long do I have to complete the ESA50?

ESA50 too big for the envelope

&

Sending Documents to the DWP or ATOS

It may also help, if you read through our :

IB, IS, SDA, Migration to ESA FAQ’s

And our :

ESA FAQ’s

Once you have read the first document, you can start filling in The ESA50 a bit at a time, whilst referring to the corresponding section of the relevant ESA Claims Guide.

As any queries that you may have, crop up, you can post them to this topic thread.

The Moderators will try to help as much as they can within the constraints of the forum.

Many thanks
