    ho there unfortunately I'm not an expert in benefits but what I can do is give you a warm welcome into the forum.

    I also suggest that you visit the coffee lounge for a general chat or the games den for some fun and games

    Hi,

    You should get the assessment rate payments pretty quickly. ESA letters usually go out within 10 working days. If you haven't heard anything by the end of the 4th week, I would recommend calling ESA to check whether there's been an issue with your claim or perhaps something simple like one digit wrong in the bank account details.
