Employment and Support Allowance
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what training is provided to GPs and other healthcare professions on completing the ESA 50 form; and what steps his Department is taking to monitor and update that training.
- Answer
-
The ESA 50 is completed by claimants with help from a friend, relative, carer or representative such as a support worker if needed.
Therefore no training is required or provided to GPs and other healthcare professions on completing it.
