HI,

There's no timescales, it depends on backlog in your area.

Most people have face to face assessments so expect one of these. It's rare to have a paper based assessment.

Hi @nini1963, I hope you are not waiting too long

There are no timescales.
It depends on the backlog for your area. To answer your other question more than often they carry out a face to face assessment. Paper based ones are rare.

Hi.

ESA isn't backdated from the date they receive the form. It's backdated from the 14th week of the claim, if successfully placed into the support group.
