(asked on 21st February 2022) - View Source

This question was answered on 1st March 2022
Claimants of disability and sickness benefits are not asked to provide photographs as part of the claiming process. Various products that support the assessment, including the PIP2, ESA50 and UC50 questionnaires, encourage claimants to provide any evidence they already have, such as medical reports or other information, to support their claim. Our assessment providers and decision makers consider any evidence that claimants provide.
