Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the criteria is for the issuing of an employment support assessment as a paper form.
A paper Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) medical questionnaire form is issued to all ESA claimants that require a work capability assessment. On DWP’s website there is a version of the form available which provides claimants with an option to download and complete the form on a computer. This allows the form to be saved and completed in stages.
