I posted my ESA questionnaire yesterday as I was waiting for a doctors letter to go in with it..the letter arrived after last collection yesterday so I posted it yesterday after 6pm its due in tomorrow 13 th feb 2019. I did inform the DWP it may be late as the doctors letter I am awaiting is late and wish to include it into my questionnaire, I also filled in page 3 of the ESA questionnaire explaining this...my ESA is due in tomorrow strangely enough the same time as my questionnaire ??? will I not get my ESA tomorrow. Also assuming I will get a face to face assessment how long after the questionnaire is posted to the DWP will it take for an interview date ...

    Hi,

    You'll be paid your ESA tomorrow. As the form is due to be received by tomorrow, i would ring them to make sure they've received it. It's extremely important that they receive that form no later than the date stated on the letter. If it's received later then your money could stop and you'll be found fit for work for failing to return the form. There's no extra time given to return the ESA50 form.

    There's no timescales for any waiting times for the assessment. It depends on backlog in your area.
