Hi guys
I sent my E50 questionnaire off around a month ago and not heard anything as yet in regards to a decision or to be called for a health assessment, but in the meantime I and my family would like to book a 2 week caravan break.
If i receive a appointment letter this week, after booking the caravan, would they allow for me to call to reschedule if it falls during this time? What are usually the rules on this?

Many thanks in advance

Hi CCJ

I think you are allowed to reschedule an appointment once. I don't know whether you need to tell why you need to reschedule - you might be as well to ask other members about that; but you must keep the next appointment you are sent or your claim will be cancelled. Enjoy your holiday!! :)

To be honest you should be absolutely fine. For one I waited months for my WCA and even then I called to arrange an audio recording of assessment / and so that a family member could accompany me. Due to this my appointment was rearranged a month later than the original date. And yes as already said you can only rearrange once. unless you have a extremely good reason.
The average waiting time for WCA varies in different areas but as its only been a month since you sent your ESA50 I believe you'll totally fine.
