Don't be surprised if you're not waiting a while. Times vary accross the country depending on backlogs etc. Hopefully you'll be lucky enough to have a paper based decision. My review last year took 4 months ish and i had a paper based decision. Good luck.

Oh god �� the wait for my pip was hurendous time I went through ... I was hoping this would be a few weeks of hell not months �� ...

I live in the south west so I really don’t know ?

My pip was a paper based decision and they have the same sort of evidence but then pip is completely different to esa so it’s anyones guess .

Thanks for your help along the way poppy ... it’s been invaluable and a little comfort in such dire times ��

ESA received by assessment people 06.06.2017
Still waiting to see if I've been awarded a group or need f2f assessment 02.10.2017

nice to meet you

It’s not going to be quick at all by all accounts .. I could be waiting till we’ll after Xmas !!

Just need to try and forget about it I think but that’s just not easy

Really can’t understand why they would put vulnerable people through this for so long obviously they have a back log but it seems pretty bad

Ah ok, i'm guessing you recieve PIP or DLA? Well good luck with that ESA hopefully you won't be waiting too long.

THANKYou poppy ... would like to think because it’s a reassement and not a new claim it would be quicker but I guess we’re all just in a que regardless of the nature of the claim
