Are these forms basically the same thing?

Hi J42,
I will merge this topic with your other ESA related topic. Please keep all future ESA related queries to this topic.
The time taken is totally variable, dependent on how busy they are in your area, whether you have to take part in a face to face or not, whether they have to request Further Medical Evidence,(FME) then how busy The ESA DM is when it comes to making the final decision.
On average, from returning your ESA50 to receiving a decision would probably take 3-8 weeks !!
It's a case of "how long is a piece of string" really !
