    Hi @nickstar

    There are 3 stages to applying for ESA:

    1. Fill in the claim form (called the ESA1 or NSESAF1) - everyone has to do this.
    2. Complete a 'capability for work questionnaire' with questions about your health and abilities (called ESA50) - most people have to do this.
    3. Go to a medical assessment with a healthcare practitioner - most people have to do this.

    There can be a gap of several weeks, or even months, between each stage of the process.

    When did you send off your capability for work questionnaire?

    Hi,

    50 pages of evidence is rather a lot, i must agree with woodbine here. Sometimes less is more, with evidence, especially when it's huge amounts like that.
