Can anyone tell me how long this is taking to be processed at present? My completed form went in on the 13th April this year but so far I have heard absolutely nothing since checking that the form had been received. It is becoming extremely stressful as I think five months is an excessive length of time for anyone to await a response. Is this common practice?
I'm afraid there are considerable delays in the ESA assessment process at the moment, some members have reported wait times of nine months or even longer, you can contact Maximus for an update for your area.
