I almost never do not receive post so that shouldn't be a problem (although I realise Atos can claim to have sent an ESA50 when they have not in fact)...I definitely will NOT phone them around Sep as that will just trigger them sending an ESA50 which I want to avoid for as long as possible. They messed me around so badly with my DLA medical: they claimed I never phoned to cancel my first date when it was less than 7 days' notice and I couldn't get a friend to be here on their date so the doctor pitched up on that cancelled date. And there was more pilava after that. But I will start next month preparing my answers on the pc.
It is up to you whether you ring them or not and I can understand why you would not want given your previous problems, but your ringing them should not result in an ESA50 being sent, ATOS have no authority to initiate a re-assessment process, only the DWP can do this.

Unlikely but still possible as we know from previous posts.

Could someone please paste the link for the DWP's most recent pdf of the ESA50. I've heard that it prints your answers very small and cuts some info off, so I want to copy the questions into a Word doc and type my answers (which I'll late print out and stick onto the ESA50) in preparation for when my reassessment comes around.

Using The PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire
It depends on the amount of text in the comments box, once the box is filled at normal size it start reducing the size of the font to fit additional text in.
