How long does it take to get ESA decision? was created by SwanseaJack
Hi, this is my first post but I would like to thank the BW people for all the resources made available.
Not sure if anyone knows the answer but any help appreciated, I completed and sent in my ESA50 form and had confirmation over the phone it was received. It's been nearly 11 weeks and still I have heard nothing from DWP or Capita. Meanwhile I had my PIP F2F one week after applying, not had decision yet but it's been just 2 weeks since the PIP assessment.
Does the ESA decision process normally take this long? I'm based in Swansea but have no idea what the norm is.
Again thanks for all the help

There are still significant delays in the ESA assessment process from when the DWP pushed too many claimants through the system and members are reporting delays of six months or more across most of the country.
PS - It's Maximus also known as CHDA for ESA not Capita

Thanks Gordon I didn't realise there was such a delay. Since I completed the ESA50 forms, my ENT consultant told me I cannot drive and the DVLA have stopped my licence, should I contact DWP and tell them this as well?
Thanks again
Thanks again
