Average is probably 5 weeks, can be as quick as a week and as long as 2-3 months.

Hi everyone i hope everyone is doing well...................Well i got my dreaded form this morning to renew my ESA its the last thing i needed at the moment as i am still recovering from my mastectomy and having a few problems after surgery. I have a question about the capability questionnaire. At the section "about your health conditions illnesses etc" it asks do you have Cancer i can tick No as i am in remission but the next question asks "are you having/waiting for or recovering from chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment" can i tick Yes to this (as i am recovering post treatment) and would this mean i dont have to complete rest of form and just get my doctor to compete page 20 at the back of the form?

thanks

It can't hurt but your GP will be including this information in the section that they need to complete.
