In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
Yes, the physical process of an ESA assessment will be very similar to the ones being done for PIP.
They have only just started doing these and we have not had much feedback but we have had a lot of comments about the PIP ones and there is now a section in our PIP Claim guide that covers these so I would recommend you have a look.
Some simple prep you might want to do; have a glass of water by the phone and a comfortable chair or whatever is relevant to you, call times seem to vary a lot from 20-30 minutes at the bottom end and well over an hour at the other.
Best of luck.
