To save me some effort, I'll refer you to a previous post in a thread where person was enquiring also regards timescale.

Fill in the ESA50 form as fully as possible... and have at your side the descriptors so you get additional direction as to relevant information... using the additional info section to cover relevant descriptors that the form doesn't really prompt information in relation to.
Supply as much supporting medical evidence as you can if possible... regarding your conditions and the descriptors."Do not attribute to conspiracy what can adequately be explained by incompetence" - rogerblack0
