6 Month Wait For ESA Assessment.

Hello, long time no speak! Hope all are happy and surviving. xxx

I had an ESA50 which I filled in and sent back for June 23rd. It took until the end of December to get back in touch with me and my Assessment is tomorrow.

Is this the normal waiting time now?

Best wishes,

You are certainly not the only person to have waited this long.

Hi R,

Yes, DWP and ATOS are working with huge backlogs I'm afraid.

I hope that your face2face assessment goes well tomorrow. You might want to have a look at this before you go.

As an aside, it looks as if your username might be your real name. If you wish to change this, in order to maintain a degree of anonymity, you can do it by following the advice in this FAQ.

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?

R,

Good luck tomorrow. I pray all goes as you would wish.

Hi, thank you for the replies and the concern, it's not my real name. This will be my 3rd face to face I think, fingers crossed!

Good luck for tomorrow, hope all goes well
