Baffled. IB - ESA fail. Fresh claim - fail.

I've got 30 pages of additional sheets. Does everyone post that much? I need to edit it down and get it to the post office today.

It's due on Thursday. If I send it tomorrow so it arrives on Thursday, is that ok?

Hi RR,

There cannot be too much or too little evidence to accompany The ESA50.

If you feel that the 30 pages are all relevant to showing how and why you fulfil the appropriate descriptor/s then that is fine.

Obviously, you should try and keep the evidence to a minimum and concentrate on quality of evidence rather than quantity.

That should be O.K. as you will have taken all reasonable steps to return it by the deadline.

You should post it first class, signed for, recorded, you can then check that it has been received on-line at : Royal Mail Track and Trace using the reference number on the receipt.

If you want to be extra sure, you could post it via Special Guaranteed Next Day Delivery.

However, this must be posted before Noon on the day before delivery and is more expensive.

Hi Bro58,

Thank you so much! I'm going to treat myself to a nice sleep and come back to it. I want to tidy it up, but leave the bits that are ok to repeat, and I won't be able to rush it in time to send today.

I wouldn't have got this far without the help and support here. I'm trying to bear in mind my PIP transfer begins in October and I'm going to need the same information then. It's a lot to think about, and too much on your own.

I sent 82 so 30 is nothing :-D
Good luck

Ooh! That's brilliant! Well, I have 28 now. I've got an hour to photocopy the form and post it, so hopefully there's time to wait in the queue. Wish me luck! And thank you again to all for being there, couldn't have done it otherwise.

Would you believe when I got to the post office, the photocopier wasn't working. First time I have ever known it to be. Also, my keyboard decided to break whilst I was writing the additional pages! I didn't have time to have a final read through of everything but it's done now. Special delivery.

Phew!
