ESA50 advice please

Yups...l though I'm going to hold my breath until Tuesday. I just can't stomach having my third bank holiday weekend of the year blighted by attempting to get sense out f the DWP or their cohorts.

Cheers, Gordon, I'll update when I have clarification.

Just wanted to say a great big thank you, you wonderful people!!! I've spoken to the DWP and have been placed in the SG without a face- to- face. My previous award was also without a face- to- face, so I am stunned (in a good way, for a change).

The guides are, of course, invaluable, but equally important -for me at least- is the forum. It's the clarifications and the sense of support it provides, plus it's a bit of a safe haven where the sick and disabled are not demonised as lazy scrounging scum. God bless you all!

But the question remains: who actually voted for this government? Anyone owning up?

That's great news Shemarie! Thanks for letting us know and for your kind words about B+W (and, no, I didn't).

Glad to hear it, Mrs. HB!

I also managed to ask about the length of the award and was told 18 months. So I asked if the award ended at that time or the forms were sent out. The lady I spoke to had no idea.

I then asked her to send me an ESA85A. She said she had no clue what that was, but would check with her supervisor and have one sent. I won't hold my breath...

Just so I can anticipate the next one, is that the total duration of the award or when the next forms are sent? Or is it even possible to estimate?

Again, many thanks!
