    To get the full 2 week run-on of ESA the advice is to submit your claim the day after you get a payment. I also looked at when I needed to order my meds and made sure that was in the 2 week run-on. That gave me a few possible dates but I decided I might as well get it over with and went for the 1st of my possibilities. I’d only have worried for even more weeks otherwise!
