Hi @nickstar
There are 3 stages to applying for ESA:
1. Fill in the claim form (called the ESA1 or NSESAF1) - everyone has to do this.
2. Complete a 'capability for work questionnaire' with questions about your health and abilities (called ESA50) - most people have to do this.
3. Go to a medical assessment with a healthcare practitioner - most people have to do this.There can be a gap of several weeks, or even months, between each stage of the process.
When did you send off your capability for work questionnaire?

As Sam says it can take weeks or longer, depends on how busy they are in your area, for the benefit of others I would venture that sending 50 pages of notes is abit over the top as its unlikely the HCP would have time to read anywhere near that amount.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Hi,50 pages of evidence is rather a lot, i must agree with woodbine here. Sometimes less is more, with evidence, especially when it's huge amounts like that.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
