Waiting time to be assessed by medical services was created by Karen
Hi I was just wondering how long other people have been waiting to be assessed by medical services, Maximus. I am claiming ESA & have been doing for over a year, submitting fit notes from my GP. I have completed a ESA50 in June but still have not had any word about having a medical. I have contacted the DWP but they have given me the telephone number for Maximis. When I have rung tMaximus they have told me someone will be in touch.
My support worker had the same response. She has suggested I visit the local Citizens Advice or even contact my local MP. Help

There are still considerable delays in the ESA assessment system and some areas are particularly bad.
There is little you can do to prioritise your claim, the only thing that may have some effect is to contact your MP about the problem. See

I sent off my ESA50 in May and had my medical in June. I know someone else who sent his off in April and is still waiting to hear back.

I claimed in October 2013 and wasn't sent an ESA-50 form but have been called for assessment soon!
