Person has High Care & High Mobility of DLA and Incapacity and Income Support, about to transfer to ESA or maybe not?
She mobilises when needed using crutches and has the use of a disabled scooter most of the time outdoors.
Or it could have been filled in by an intellectual wordsworth carefully outlining all her problems and difficulties….......................at the end of the day they will both be treated the same….IGNORED.
ATOS will decide!!!! ;)
I can beat that! The worst I’ve seen ticks every single “No problem” box, in the space below states “I can do this” and at the end where it asks, Do you want to tell us anything else?” client states, “No, I think that’s all thank you. I am getting better and think I will look for a job some time soon, maybe next year” !!!!!
I’m with Neil. I don’t think it makes a blind bit of difference how well client completes the ESA50.
A bloke called in to our office the other day thinking we were the local ATOS assessment venue (which is opposite our office on the other side of the road). We did think about completing a GL24 with him whilst he was with us, thus cutting out the middle man.
Well filled in ES50 are very useful at appeal at least. You can state that the HCP should have been aware of something at the WCA as they should have the ESA50 at the assessment. In submissions statements from the ESA50 and appeal form by the appellant can be compared to the ‘typical day’ part of the WCA and give a level of consistancy when compared to the WCA and that is contemporary with it.
Should have made it clear, this form was done for this disabled client by an advice worker.
Advice worker? You are kidding surely!

That is shocking.
My favourite was one I saw in a bundle; front page filled in, thereafter sporadically completed, some boxes ticked, some questions ignored… Only one written answer in the form, to descriptor 5: “this question is pathetic”
We have now done the form the way it should have been done in the first place and included all the relevant information, problems etc, I would have expected any compitent “advice worker” to have done the same.
To be honest I would be surprised if they are now called to an ATOS medical given the information in the form.
