Hi everyone,
I claimed esa in December, I haven’t had any assessments and still have to send them fit notes every 10 days.

I have filled out a form on my disability.
I called in march and they said I’m on a list that they are working through and shouldn’t be much longer.
I’m just wondering if anyone else is waiting for an assessment because this is a really long time to wait.
Thank you

This is not unusual at the moment because backlogs are huge. We have members here that have waited a year for their assessment.
