Esa

I sent in my ESA questionnaire a few weeks back and heard nothing. How long do they take to write back with news?

    It took them the best part of 5 months in my case, so I hope you are not holding your breath!

    I'm still waiting for a decision 5 months after my atos interview, nearly a year after submitting my claim., my contributions based year has now expired and I still don't know if I will receive anything.
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
