    If it was close to 6pm then that will be the reason you were cut off because they close at that time. Best time to ring is early in the morning, at least that's always the best for me.
    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.

    I thought it maybe that, although that letter is late. It just seemed rather quick for it to be a decision letter.  They very often have strange ways of wording letters.

    As you've only very recently returned the ESA50 form it could be a few months until you hear something back. Your file will be sent to the health assessment providers to decide if a face to face assessment is needed, most have them.

    Signed for delivery doesn't mean anything if the form was sent straight to DWP. Some are sent straight to the health assessment providers, mine always has been for ESA. Signed for delivery just means it's been signed for by someone from Royal Mail sorting office, once that's happened, it could be anywhere. It's not classed as being there until it's been put onto the computer.

    It's been a couple of weeks since you returned the form and i'm sure if they hadn't received it, you would have received a letter by now.

    I would say that's a decision on the latest WCA, so great news no face to face was needed. :)
