I cannot emphasise enough that ESA awards are made because the claimants has shown that they meet the criteria.

This would not be a substantial risk claim but a further explanation how my health conditions impact on my daily life. As I said before I have already sent the ESA50 form but I need the assessors to realise how limited I am
If you think that it would be supportive of your showing how you have problems with the ESA activities then yes, I would send the extra information.

Contact the DWP, but it should not be a problem the important thing is that the form was received, normal procedure is to accept the late delivery and continue with the assessment process.
