What is the exact question?  Probably just N/A but make sure somewhere on the form to explain why you haven't seen anyone otherwise they'll assume it can't be that bad (can you hear my eyes rolling out of my skull?!)

Form is here. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/975770/esa50-capability-for-work-questionnaire.pdf

It's the question regarding HCP's carers, friends or relatives. It's basically someone that they can contact if needed (although this is very rare for them to do this) If you see your GP then put their name down.

I could put down an NHS physio - but I had a phone assessment from him, 2 weeks ago and he told me that there was nothing more that he could do for me !

It's your decision who you put down. I usually put my GP down and in 7 years (3 reviews) he's only ever been contacted once. I put my daughters GP down too for her recent work capability assessment form and he wasn't contacted either.

So that's your GP down twice?

No, contacted once out of 3 reviews for me. Not contacted at all for my daughters first WCA which was just a couple of weeks ago and the decision was made on her's on 6th July.

For myself yes but not for my daughter, i added an additional contact name for her but no one was contacted. My daughters was Universal Credit but it's exactly the same process and the form is UC50 rather than ESA50. If they contact a GP then they are sent a simple tick box form to fill in and return.

Have you looked at the 2nd link i prvided above? It will advise you how to fill out the form.
