Completing ESA50 on behalf of partner

Hi

I would like some help with the ESA50. I am completing the form on behalf of my partner who has a chronic anxiety disorder. It is impossible for him to complete this himself. I have typed the whole online form saying Due to his Chronic Anxiety Disorder Peter cannot, has problems with, etc.

My question is should I be completing it saying ‘Peter’ or ‘I’ as if he was completing it himself or does it not really matter.

Thank you

Hi p,

It doesn't matter whether you fill in the ESA50 in the first person, as if you were your partner, or in the 3rd person as yourself.

As long as you make it clear that it is you that has actually filled in the ESA50 on your partner's behalf with their full knowledge and permission, giving any applicable reasons.

Your partner should then sign the form in the appropriate place.

Hi p,

There is a section on page 18 of the ESA50 for other people filling in the ESA50, entitled "For people filling in this questionnaire for someone else"

Fill this in as appropriate.
