ESA query

I filled in form ESA 50 for my son on 24th May 2016. He has dyspraxia and mild learning difficulties which is a life long condition.
He has been in receipt of ESA of £73.65 since that date, but we have heard nothing since then regarding what happens next?? His medical certificate runs out at the end of July, so do we just ask the doctor for another and if so where do we send it?

Hi Kaz and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

I'm afraid it can take some time for the claim to progress. Your son might be sent an appointment for a face to face appointment or a decision could be made without it. Although most claims are decided withing a few weeks, we do hear from members who have been waiting for a year or more!

If you wish, you can contact Maximus to ask how things are going, they answered me promptly when I emailed a similar question.

Meanwhile, the assessment rate will continue to be paid as long as your son continues to submit 'fitnotes' from his GP. These should be sent to the DWP address on the most recent letter from them.
