Worried my WCA 50 form won't arrive back in time

Hi, on my letter it says please return by the 12th of March but I've had to wait until the 5th of March to get an appointment with Citizens advice to have help filling in the form.

It's in the morning and when it's finished I'm going to take photos as a copy and sent it back in my towns post office and get proof of postage. Should I ring up and say it might be late as the post in running behind in some places or should the 5th of March be enough time? Thank you

    If worried maybe send it by next day, signed for delivery if you can afford the postage.

    Otherwise ring them and obtain proof of postage as you have suggested you may do.

    It should get there in time.

    A week should be plenty of time @BingeWhisker, I wouldn't recommend it but I have sent forms back the day before they're due many times without issue.

    If you're worried you can always give them a call once you've sent it to let them know.

    Good luck with your CA appointment.
