Evening

How long after your ESA forms go back due you normally get called in for a face to face assesment, My forms need to be back by 3rd June and i am going away from 19/06 till 07/07 and a bit worried i may ba away when they request to see me. This is the 3rd time i have filled the forms in and have bever been called in before and have been in the support group for 6 years

Thanks

John

There are considerable variations in ESA assessment wait time from 6-8 weeks to 6-8 months, cities tend to be quicker and rural areas slower.

Did you include the dates on your ESA50? You can also contact Maxims to make them aware of when you will not be available.

Sorry I missed the return date.

The obvious thing to think about when taking a holiday is whether your doing so contradicts any of your limitations, so as an example; if you take a long haul flight and are hoping to score for Standing and Sitting then it may raise questions but you don't have to volunteer the information, just be prepared to answer questions if they are asked.
