They usually send the form quite quickly after you apply, even if you don't qualify for the payments because of lack of NI contributions.
The process could take several months. If you don't automatically qualify for Support Group then yes, you'll most likely need an assessment because most people have them. They are mostly by telephone. Paper based assessments are possible but rare.
You can see the descriptors here for Support Group.

Hey there @jackthemondoe and welcome to the community.
I can see Poppy has already answered your question, but I just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello and good luck for your ESA application. 😊
