Hia can I send a letter that my specialist sent my gp about my admission to itu, I only ask becouse the problem is its dated february of last year as that was the last time I was admitted for my seizures, I have obviously had lotsmore since then. The receptionist at my gps typed me off a report path local record but only states up to August of last year as its got history of being in accident and emergency over the past few years is this also worth sending dont think they are my medial records though thanks.

Hi b72,

Yes, you could send a copy of it. (always keep originals)

If nothing else it will show that your conditions is chronic and you are admitted to hospital due to your conditions..

There is nothing wrong with sending older evidence as long as you make it clear that your medical conditions remain unchanged or have deteriorated since the date of the evidence !

Hi, I was thinkig of sending my esa form off on tuseday for it to get there for the 15th march, im aware the nearer the time it will cost more to send by recorded delivery but will it still get there for the 15th as been told it can take upto 7 days to reach the right department, as it had got to go to wolverhampton first then on to Birmingham. Thanks

Hi b72,

All that you need to worry about is posting it in good time to arrive at the return address provided by close of business on the deadline date.

As long as it is signed for as delivered to that address by the deadline, you have fulfilled your obligation.

It is not your responsibility to worry about how longs it takes to arrive at the correct department/office after it is delivered to the return address.

Hia, I rang the health and assessments department to see if they had received my esa50 form which was on 12 of March and they said they had. I have not heard about wether or not I need to go for an assessment as it has been just over 4 weeks since they received my form they just keep saying it's with the doctors, should I ring for an update or is it in your experience to soon, I am on Sda and income support at the moment. Many thanks
