I've only worked in the benefit for 18 months or so. The SC2 can still be sent in if the claimant so wishes but its not part of the evidence requirement.0 -

Form SC2 is only used to self certify for SSP purposes where an E/R does not have their own form. The instructions on the form are clear. If a form SC2 is submitted with an ESA claim, it should be returned to the customer who needs to be advised it is not needed.
A copy of SC2 is here-
