ESA 50 form online ??

Does anybody know if the ESA50 form is available in a format that can be filled in on screen then printed out?

I have to fill one in shortly and a slight problem with my right hand means it would be easier not to have to do it all with a pen.

So far I can only find a PDF which doesn't help.

Thanks

    I dont think there is anything online. If there was it would be on the DWP website but I guess you have looked there already.

    Sadly no. These are the forms to make a claim. I'm after an online ESA50 which they send you after about a month.

    I had a look but couldnt find any ESA50's that could be filled in online.

    In northern Ireland the medical section can fill it out for you over the phone and send it out to you to sign. Not sure if that happens in DWP.
  • I recieved one today to fill in. Its frustrating as you can fill in the DLA forms online and send. The ESA50 has a lot of questions asking for a lot of information which would be easier to read if printed out :(

    You can get PDF editors...

    Try this one, its free to evaluate (works fully in evaluation mode)

    You can then edit the pdf file, and add your text into the boxes.
    [greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that
