There is no harm in you sending a copy of your ESA50 and any attached evidence to the DWP Decision Maker, providing you can afford it.
I would include a short letter explaining what is included and why you are sending it, as always when writing to the DWP, bear the following in mind.
Sending Documents to the DWP or ATOS
You should address it, attention of the Decision Maker, and send it to the DWP office that normally deals with your benefits, even if it is not this office dealing with your transfer, it will be forwarded on to the correct one.

I phoned ATOS and asked if they could tell me which DWP centre they will send there advice to-they told me they will send to DWP Benefit sorting office and DWP will send to J C Plus office dealing with my claim!!! I contacted DWP call centre 0845 6088583 who put me through to Team dealing with migration IB To ESA-they asked for some personal details and told me it would be DWP Benefit Centre for my Area-Watford-which happens to be the DWP J C Plus office that has historically dealth with my I B claims.-To be honest I was not left feeling confident that this was correct advice-but that is it as far as it goes.Do not want to burn up to much nervous energy on this-just trying to get things right-ANY Comments would be welcome.Thanks

28/02/2013 - Telephoned Atos to check on progress of IB To ESA claim - they told me my file had been closed and returned to DWP for Decision.They said It was not necessary on this occasion to attend for in person medical assessment.
28/02/2013 - Telephoned DWP who told me letter was in post to me.I was informed that I had been placed in support group and would be reassessed in 18 months.
I will need to wait confirmation letter before I can be sure of the Decision-but it looks hopefull.
Big thankyou to B&W for the information,support and encouragement.The resources available on this site are so helpful when putting together a claim pack.The individuals who share their experiences so we can all learn,and of cource the sign posting,guidance and sensitivity of the moderators.
