ESA form deadline and medical was created by Feelinghopeless
Hi,

(please feel free to redirect me if this has already been addressed on this forum)

The deadline for my ESA form was 28th September, and was received a couple of weeks ago. My psychiatrist did a covering letter recommending that attending a medical would be detrimental to my health.

I just wanted to know how long others had to wait after their ESA deadline to be invited to medical, and also if a letter from my psychiatrist would carry any weight.

thanks

See here re waiting times.

A letter from your Psychiatrist should be acceptable, but it would be worth getting your GP to confirm this as well.
