Another ESA question

Sent form off by August, Ive not heard anything, should I ring chase it up or leave. ? I did speak to them, to make sure they had received the form, and sent in signed for.
Im getting stressed out, and hubby has had a heart attack, just after winning his appeal he waited a yr for, he won and is in the support group, but the worry and stress caused this.
At wits end

lild, I am so sorry to hear about your husband. This is an appauling situation to be in and to wait until after Christmas is shocking.

I find the entire system extremely stressful and it has caused deterioration to my health, the unfortunate thing is we have to fight our own corner as there is no-one else to do it for us.

I cannot understand why there is not some kind of committee or authority that can say enough is enough. It is all very well the government, ATOS, etc making new rules, regulations and alterations but they are not taking into consideration the affect all of this is having on genuine claimants. I do not follow politics but I do not remember any goverment changing to so many laws, regs, etc just to cover their own errors.

We contacted the mp before he helped us. I'm unsure what to do I'm in the support group , I think they will contine to pay me so I could just leave it , but just make mp aware of these delays it all just adds stress , I'm nearly buckling under.
