The ESA appeal has been received and now waiting for dates.

Thank you

Typically 5-6 weeks but it can go to months/

If you have received written confirmation from the Tribunal Service that your appeal has been accepted then you can contact the DWP and ask to be put back on the ESA Assessment rate while you wait for a hearing. You will need to provide Fit Notes, from the day after you were found Fit for Work if you did not claim JSA or from the day after your JSA claim is closed if you did.

Do I need to send them to the Appeal Court also?

They need to be sent to the DWP but not the TS.
