    You need to submit your application by the deadline.

    You can save the form at various intervals and return to fill out more, the form needs to be submitted before 28 days have passed.

    After this time the form would be deleted and you'd have to start again.

    What benefits are you migrating from?

    The best time to claim seems to be the day after an ESA payment.

    This seemingly helps to ensure your final payment (two weeks after claiming, known as the run on payment) is for the full amount.
