I can not get to speak to anyone in the esa department, my anxiety is through the roof, I have a deadline on the 27th and it needs extending, but I can not speak to anyone, 4 hours I’ve been on hold today, what will happen if I can not get hold of them,

Sorry to rant first timer on here

    sorry, yes to return the form by, however I have sent the form in just with anything on but worried they may not receive it in time, cause I was panicking

    They don't usually give extra time to return the form. If you have a vulnerable marker on your file then they can proceed without the form.

    The form will have been returned straight to the Health Assessment Advisory Service, rather than to DWP so hopefully it will arrive quite quickly.
