Please can someone help me. I am of the understanding that at some point in the next few months, a new ESA50 form will be released. I am due for reassessment this month, although I don't know if this will happen with all the backlog. I am currently working on filling in the ESA50 dated 04/14 (I am preparing it ready for when the form arrives). I cannot find on this site, anywhere I can go to find the latest downloadable ESA50 form. Please can anyone help me with this. I want to be able to keep checking to make sure I am not missing the new one coming out.
Many thanks in advance.

As you say a new ESA50 is planned for issue at some time during the next few months, until it is we cannot provide any information on the changes, we do not get an advanced copy and even if we did we cannot host this type of document on the site.
The changes are cosmetic, there are no changes to the ESA legislation or to the ESA Descriptors, so completing the currently available version of the form should not be a problem.
We will let members know when the new form is available and what the changes consist of as soon as the form is available.

Hi T,
Welcome to Benefits and Work

You can download and save the most current version of The ESA50 from the link provided on this FAQ :
Using The PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire
From our : ESA FAQ’s
When filling in The ESA50, you should refer to the guides on this page :
ESA Claims Guides
See also :
How long do I have to complete the ESA50?
ESA50 too big for the envelope
&
Sending Documents to the DWP or ATOS
The Pdf ESA50 available from the link is the most current.
As reported in our News Item : Here, a new ESA50 is due out in the coming months.
However, there is no change to the qualifying criteria, only to advice given to claimants on what type of supporting evidence they may wish to include with The ESA50.
As reported in the News Item, we will keep you all updated, and any relevant changes will be reflected in our ESA Claims Guides.
Even if you make a start on the current ESA50, it should be entirely possible to copy and paste information over from one Pdf ESA50 to another, if necessary.
