    Hi,

    Great news that you don't have to attend a face to face assessment. This means that they are doing a paper based assessment but you will still need to wait for a decision to made.

    Paper based assessments for ESA mean you can't be found fit for work but you can be placed into either of the groups. Waiting times for decisions vary depending on backlog in your area and how long it takes them to return the assessment report to DWP. Once it's been returned you can request a copy to be sent to you, this will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.

    Hopefully you won't be waiting too long for the decision.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    If you have a paper based assessment it's the ESA85a you need to request. If you have a face to face assessment it's the ESA85. For both of these you ring DWP.
