    They very rarely contact anyone and you shouldn't expect them to do this. Sometimes they may send your GP the UC113 form to fill in and return but again not always. For my ESA in 10 years of claiming i've only ever known them send a form once.
    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.
