Health Assessment questionnaire NOT received. was created by MissJ2010
The centre for health and disability assessments wrote to me on 27 June 2016 advising me that on the 3 June 2016 they allegedly sent me a questionnaire to fill out and return to them by the 6 July 2016. However I did not receive such mail and contacted them on 30 June 16 when I received their letter to inform them that I haven't received it. Debbie from ESA in Manchester confirmed that she would request that a new questionaire form would be sent out to me and that I am to fill it out as soon as I can whilst enclosing a letter along with it to explain why the questionaire is late.
Today the post has been and gone and I haven't received the questionaire still?
I am now concerned that they will stop my claim and they are extremely difficult if not impossible to get hold of via telephone.
Any advice would be very much appreciated thank you.

Hi MissJ and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
You are right to be concerned as there is little leeway in the date for returning the form. It might be worth informing DWP and HAAS that the form has not arrived but also downloading the PDF version and completing that.
Using The PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire
Don't forget to make full use of our ESA guide
ESA claims and appeals
In addition, your MP might like to know how the system is working!
Contacting your MP
You might want to bookmark/favourite this on your web browser now so that you can find it easily in future. This will allow you to return with further questions/comments regarding your ESA claim without having to start a new topic each time. It helps us enormously when everything relating to the same claim is kept in one place - and I hope you will find it useful too

I have until the 1st August 16 to complete the form. I have been feeling at my lowest recently and now my son has finished for the summer term but I know I have left this late! My memory is terrible. I wish I was in the support group so that they could give me more support as i am really struggling to cope with life right now and all I have going on.
Can anyone assist me please with filling out the Health Questionaire?

I have the health Questionaire but my brain is unable to put my thoughts into writing. I am unable to concentrate and my memory really is awful. I don't even understand how to use this site correctly to get full use of it.

I think you will struggle to find anybody in the timescales, but try an internet search for "welfare advice" with your postcode, town or county.
You can also try any charities that support your conditions.

The ESA Claim guides are on the following link, the Physical guide covers questions 1-10 on the ESA50 and the Mental Health one covers questions 11-17.
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa1
The guides include a method for answering the questions and worked examples.
If you have to do the form yourself break the work down into small units, provide a basic answer for each activity you think that you should score points for and then go back through it and provide a more detailed answer, keep repeating until you run out of time or have nothing else to say.
