Hi, I've applied (early) for the new style esa, my sicknote runs out in the 28th Feb (6months on sick).
I applied last year, put in the sicknote, but I haven't heard anything back.
Can anyone tell me how it all works, I'm new to all of this

You can apply up to 3 months before your SSP ends, was your application within that time frame?
You might want to call them on 0800 169 0310 to see what's happening with your application.
@Kimmy87 yes I applied within that time frame. In the message it said they would contact me within 10 working days, but I never heard anything.
Best to call them then and see what's happening.
Ive just been on the phone with them, took 56 minutes to get through. Got transferred twice to a different lady, and then for the last lady to tell me i had to ring the 'helpline' to get information and she disconnected the line!!! In no further forward, and my anxiety is through the roof 😔
The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
