i think you should call them back aparently from the firist phone call you made then they send you the form to sign and form the receiving date i think it is about the 11th day you start to get your money .

Practically, i got mine around 6 weeks after my claims all backdated .

the problem with ESA it is berand new and they are very slow at processing claims.... be wary of the ESA50 forms, a real pain to fill in.

if i were you i will call adn ask them if your calim has been processed .

Ideally payment should reach you no more than three working days after the claim is processed.

ESA is processed on the JSAPS system and if even one day of your fortnightly payment period is missing the payment will not go out automatically. Make sure to keep on top of your sicklines and get them for as long as the doctor is willing to put on them.
