I opened my ESA50 letter with only 2 days to go

I've been avoiding opening mail. I've just opened my ESA review / Health assessment / ESA50 letter to find I have until 27th of February (2 days) to send it in.

I guess that's the date it needs to arrive so I'll probably have to complete it today(?) unless there's a way I can get an extension or something without risking my ESA payments?

So, I've joined the forum and will do whatever it takes. I'm in the support group (income related) for ESA and have been for many years after transferring from IB.

I am bipolar and also diagnosed with Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). I have a psychiatrist who I see every six months or so.

Whats my best course of action under the circumsrtances? I will of course provide any information here that may be of use.

Thanks!

Thanks Gordon.

Using your guides I've been at this literally all day.

Can I complete any of the physical functions questions 1-10 if my mental health affects my ability to perform the tasks?

Advice on this very much appreciated.

I posted the completed ESA50 yesterday 26th Feb by 1st class recorded delivery. The covering letter it came with says it must be returned "no later than 27th Feb"

The problem is, it still hasn't been delivered.

What should I do? Thanks
