Some areas have back logs as long as 1 year and more. Ring them and ask approximately how much longer it will be and they'll tell you.

If you are still waiting then I suggest you ring them and they may give you an idea as to the time scale for your daughter.

I have phoned them twice and they've said I've had to wait extra weeks really at end of my tether as struggling to survive on what I get from esa

Did they ring you or write to you about this

Dwp just wrote about what I was getting and from when. And that I was on both standard mobility and living.

I'm so sorry to hear you are struggling but please hang in there. I have this feeling dwp will ring you soon to offer you an award, they will do anything to stop you going to tribunal if that's what you're waiting to hear from I take it.

It's rare for DWP to offer an award before a Tribunal hearing so please don't hold your hopes out for this happen. Focus on the Tribunal and any extra evidence you need to send and make sure it's sent ASAP.

I'm hearing that it's very rare dwp offer an award before tribunal but I've had a few people it's happened to including myself. Many cases are successful at the tribunal which looks bad on the dwp so that's why they try their best to stop you going and offer you the award. You can however refuse the offer and proceed with the tribunal which I wish I did.

DWP don't ring from a withheld number. they never have when they've rang me.

alisha22

Even so, many people have all calls blocked if they are not on an approved list given by the customer.
I always have a problem even with a friend's phone. My landline number is not on his approved list of numbers he will accept a call from. I have to ring him using a mobile to his mobile.

In my case no government depart has access to either my landline or mobile numbers or even my email accounts - any communication intended has to be in a written format.

Can anyone tell me my 18months is coming to an end this March regarding the esa support group for mental health problems, will I have to go to a f2f and fill lots of forms and gather evidence etc. I'm still under the chmt mental health team and have been appointed a CPN.

You can be re-assessed at anytime for ESA. Your payments won't stop when your time ends. The time they give you is just a guide, some go over and others are contacted earlier. You most likely won't know until the ESA50 form comes through your door. When it does, expect another face to face assessment as most have them. Evidence will be needed to support your claim.

alisha22

What kinda evidence do you give for mental health, I find it difficult as it is then to worry as to how to provide evidence for this unseen not talked about health.
