Ok, so I can just attach letters and/or evidence and they will read them anyway?

And no probs, will do that thank you

poppy123456

Just put the evidence in the envelope with the form. You do not need to attach them to anything because they will remove the staples anyway.

Ray212

Ok thank you

Ray212

Can't believe this has gone on 6 pages. Just wanted to say thank you for all advice I have been given.

I have finally finished the physical issues part of the UC50, now the hardest part to do. 

I did receive a reminder letter today saying I need to return the form urgently. It needs to be with them by the 6th July.

If I send it special delivery on Monday 3rd will that be enough time?

poppy123456

They are usually returned straight to the Health assessment advisory Service rather than to DWP first. I don't know if that will be enough of time. If you get proof of posting then at least you have proof that you sent it.

Ray212

Ok thank you. Will see if I can do it today and tomorrow morning and get it sent tomorrow afternoon 

Ray212

Just had another read of the letter it says it needs to be back with the health assessment people by the 6th so hopefully should be ok.

Ray212

Can I just check something about the address, the original letter said return in the envelope provided which had the address : 

Centre for Health and Disability Assessments
Bristol BSC
Mail Handling Site A
Wolverhampton
WV98 2EL

But the letter I received today said post to : 

Bristol Centre for Health and Disability Assessments
123 Winterstoke Road
Bristol
BS3 2NS


So I assume ok to post to the last address ?

poppy123456

The top address is a mail handling site. The bottom is the one straight to the health assessment providers. I’d use the bottom one. 

Ray212

Many thanks Poppy. I will send it to that one

Ray212

Just three questions to go! Will do them tomorrow and get the form sent off either tomorrow or Saturday, if it goes Saturday special delivery they will get it Monday.

poppy123456

Almost there, i'm sure you'll be glad once it's done and posted. I hope you're not waiting too long for a decision. Good luck!

Ray212

Thank you. Without a doubt this has been the most stressful time in a long time, even more than my PIP form. And thank you again, I really do appreciate all the help you have given. Thank you

poppy123456

You're welcome. I must admit, that i also find the ESA50 form much more stressful than the PIP forms. Please do come back and let me know the outcome.

Ray212

Thanks will do.

Ray212

Finally all done. Printed off and will be sent Special Delivery in the morning so will get their Monday. Phew. No idea of what the outcome will be so can only hope for the best.

Thank you again for everyones help

I think that is because the PIP form makes some sense whereas the ESA/UC forms are hard because the questions seems daft. What job has ever required the repetitive moving of empty cardboard boxes at waist height and lifting small cartoons of milk.

Now you mention it, it makes sense.

Well done for managing to finish the form, it is a difficult process for sure, now try and relax a bit you've done all you can until they let you know the outcome- I know that is easier said that done though.

Ray212

The waiting for the outcome is just as hard as the form I find ! But thank you
