Normally a new style ESA claim requires you to take the completed form to the JobCentre. My understanding is that currently if you ring the claim line (if you can get through) they will take the claim over the phone (as they always used to do).

Thanks for your comments I have tried ringing and get through but get cut off once someone should be answering to take new claim, it seems as though it is automatic

Tried ringing but when I get to the point that someone should take new claim, I get cutoff it seems automatic ( I will keep checking website to see if different info )
