Transfer of incapacity benefit to esa---advice needed


Recommended Posts

I have lived in France for 6 years and receive incapacitty benefit, I have just received a from from (ESA 50) the dhs in the uk. Looking through it none of the questions refer to my medical problems, I am very worried about this as I have been told that the form is used to assess your medical condition and if you don't score enough points you lose you benefit and your health cover here......has anyone else had to fill out one of these new forms, and can give me some advice please?? thanks

Check out this useful guide to completion of the form ESA 50 as part of the Work Capability Assessment:

http://www.nawra.org.uk/Documents/Cardiff_Mar_10/Fit%20for%20Purpose%20%20A%20Guide%20to%20Completing%20the%20ESA50.pdf.

It has been written as a guide for workers such as support workers, social workers or other professionals to refer to when completing the form with clients, but will also be useful if you are completing the form for yourself.

There is a topic on Money Saving Expert about filling in the form and a guide is mentioned : http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2048819

The form is available here :

As I understand it these checks are pretty routine now and to be expected.
