Missed Box on Form

I am in a slight panic here, which is nothing unusal for me,
I sent my ESA50 yesterday on the same day I got a reminder from ATOS. As the date it should be in is 8th August. I have been on the Post Office track and trace,it has been delivered well within the date. I have just gone through the photocopies and found out that I have forgotton to tick one box. Will they return the form to me to complete and will they stop my IB payments? I can`t beleive that one oversight when I went through that form time and time again to check everything is in order.

Hi Bodnar

They certainly won't stop your benefit for a missed box, provided they received the form.

It's possible that they could return the form for completion, but if you have a face-to-face assessment, it's probably more likely that the HCP will simply clarify the question with you at the assessment - that's assuming it's a box relating to the mental/physical health questionnaire.

If you feel that it is important to correct your form, you could send a brief letter stating what box should have been ticked and any other relevant information. The letter should be added to your file.

Thanks Dereck, thats a load off my mind!

Shouldn't worry about it unless you've missed some info that you want Atos to have cos it's important to your claim.

Best wishes, Margaret.
