How long is a piece of string comes to mind - it all depends on any backlogs of claims in the office where you sent the medical form to. But usually - it should be within 4 weeks for them to either book a date for a face to face medical or if they have enough evidence from the form or your GP / Consultant to make a paper based decision. You might get a phone call if they have a cancellation for the medical and so be dealt with sooner or you may just get a letter.0 -
If it's for a continuing claim it depends where you live. It took about 2-3 months for me to hear anything. I ended up calling ATOS to ask what was happening (DPW knew nothing) and they told me I didn't need another medical.
If it's for a new claim it should be done in about 13 weeks from the start of the claim.4 Stones and 0 pounds or 25.4kg lighter :j0 -
It took nearly 5 months for me to hear again after I sent in my ESA50!0

You should hear in about 3 weeks that that they have closed your claim for non return of ESA50.
Do yourself a favour, save yourself lots of hassle....phone ATOS and confirm they have received it 0800 2888777
Then phone your ESA BDC and tell them you want a note put on your record that you have just spoken to ATOS and they have confirmed receipt.0 -
