Next Day Delivery to return ESA form?

Hi

Just wondering if anyone would recommend using Royal Mail special next day delivery to return the ESA form - or does that just confuse things for the DWP? I know someone usually has to sign for these things, and I thought all the mail went to a PO Box.

I have to return my form by 9 December, but probably won't be able to post until 5 December, so it would possibly arrive late by normal mail.

Thanks

Alison

Hi Alison,

We always recommend using some sort of signed-for delivery if you can afford it. There will be someone to sign for DWP post.

ESSENTIAL to send either special delivery or recorded 1st class.

Recorded 1st class is ok, but if your dates are tight then use special delivery.

MUST SEND EVERYTHING WITH RECORDED SLIPS so they have to sign for. Then you can prove receipt with your slips.

The DWP is not WORKING PROPERLY so you must cover yourself all the time to be able to prove everything.

Thanks, folks. I'll send it special next-day delivery. I'm beginning to realise you have to try and be one step ahead of the DWP when it comes to ESA applications. :woohoo:

I am going to send around 24 additional sheets of supporting evidence. Is it generally ok just to staple these to the ESA form - numbered and with my NI number and signature on them?

Cheers

Alison
