FORM 113 sent to GP was created by chafur47
I am very late returning my ESA50, over two weeks, symptoms worsened, no help except for my reluctant carer. It will be sent either tomorrow or Tuesday.
1. Should I phone the DWP tomorrow to say when it will be sent?
2. My GP wrote a letter, not a very good one, just said multisymptoms etc. but no
mention of vision issues and more. Should I sent it or ask GP to correct? The practice
manager writes them, generic, already altered once, ignores my email to alter and put in
the date it was emailed, not the date of the draft which is 31 Dec as this could cause me
issues and I didn't receive the 1st draft till the 7th.
3. Should ask the GPs there not to fill in the form 113 because none of them know me, my symptoms, not even all my diagnoses. I had two home visits last year, unable to go the surgery, mostly telcons with GPs I don't even know. Judging by the lack of competency at that surgery, I would not trust anyone to write anything for patients. I will probably be changing surgery with the next week or so.
4. Several phone calls to the DWP, they assured me that my ESA payments would not be stopped, but to send ESA50 asap. They also said there was a code or some type of alert on the computer system about me, that I should be given longer to finish the form. Is this true? I phoned 3 times, and was told the same by 3 different agents.
If true, does this mean, they will not stop my ESA payments for being late?
If they do stop my payments, what is the fastest way of getting it sorted out? I would literally die wihtou these payments, because of my allergies, I can literally eat 3 single foods on its own, and nothing else. I can only drink Evian water and react to any other beverages or tap water.
If they have not cut me off yet, what can I put in the cover letter that would be helpful to my cause? Should i enclose the letter from my surgery even though its not professional nor is it clinical?
Thank you.

1. Definitely. I would consider sending it incomplete and providing the additional information when you can.
2. It can't do any harm for you to speak to the GP practice about the letter, you can then decide whether to send it or not.
3. You can't ask them not to complete the ESA113, they are required to complete the form, although we do know that many are not in fact returned by the required date.
4. There may well be a flag on your file but I'm afraid the only person who can accept a Late ESA50 is a Decision Maker, that's why I recommend that you get it back asap and if necessary, incomplete.
If your ESA is stopped and in the interim, you have returned the ESA50 then it should be possible to get your claim re-instated but if not then you will have to request an MR.
