Hello Everyone, I was sent a ESA50 form middle of July 2011, i sent it back on 01/08/11.
I rang Maker field and ATOS to see if they had received it and they said yes. I have not heard anything back is this normal?.
I completed a ESA50 form back in March 2011 and never heard anything back until I phoned them due to being anxious all the time and they said i was fine until September. In with the ESA50 form i sent this time round was consultant letters stating my illnesses and in the letter the consultant wrote if my GP could refer me to a psychiatrist.
It is Pay day tomorrow, I'm very anxious about having no money,
What would you do?

You should still be paid tomorrow as you've not heard from them. As you're worried it may be worth calling the dwp just to ask.
I never received a letter after I filled out my ESA50. It was only when I called that I was told that I was awarded ESA for a further 6 months.

Hi, give them a ring to find out. My hubby's ESA was up for renewal earlier this year. We sent the from back at the beginning of June and heard nothing more about it until I got fed up of waiting and rang them in mid August. That's when I was told a decision had been made at the beginning of July to keep hubby in the support group for another two years and that as before no medical was required. After talking to others I think it's pretty common for the DWP not to write to claimants. Good luck.

Thankyou everyone. I was told months ago they had not heard anything so not to worry
