ESA No Group Yet

Hi,

I have made an application for ESA back in Septcember/13 and have been in receipt of that since. My application was made by an Advisor at Maggie's Cancer Centre in London and my doctor signed the last page of the assessment. I haven't had an assessment as yet and have not been placed on a group. This, of course, makes me feel even more anxious on top of everything else that is happening due to ill health. My doctor has signed me off sick until the end of July.
What should I do?
Kind regards,
Bea

Hi Beatriz and welcome to the forum. On the assumption that you are also new to the site, this FAq should help you find your way around.

Welcome to Benefits and Work

I'm afraid that DWP and ATOS are both very behind with ESA claims, it is not unusual to hear of people waiting many months for a decision.

The only thing that I can suggest is to get your MP involved, Even if this does not speed up the process, at least your MP would be aware of the way this is affecting people.

Contacting your MP
