Ib50 help needed

I claimed ESA on 27th November sent in my pension details, my sick line and heard nothing until today when I have received another form to complete IB50 has anyone any advice, should I take it to a welfare advisor. I have my right hand strapped up at the moment and cannot write would I be allowed to get another person to complete it for me.

    Hi

    Yes you are allowed to have someone else fill the form in for you.
    I would take it to the welfare advisor at the cab for help and advice they are great.

    Good luck :)
  • by all means get someone to fill it in for you,but IB50`s arent that complicated and shouldnt really need cab or welfare rights to help(if they have time that is)

    Are you sure that you have received an IB50, rather than an ESA50?
    Gone ... or have I?
  • If you are confident you know what you want to put then an adviser at the contact centre will go though the application with you and fill in the form. I think they then print and post it to you for signature.

    The contact centre is open Monday to Friday from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm. Telephone: 0800 055 6688

    You can also download the form as a PDF and complete it on the computer, then print and send it.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.
