I can’t find my last posts on here, so apologies for not adding it on to my last thread.
My partner is due to return her ESA50 form by Friday 15th December. It is for a renewal of ESA, as she has been in the Support Group for a number of years.
Previously, when I have helped her reapply for PIP, we were granted a 2-week extension to be able to gather medical evidence. However, when she rang ESA Today, they said no extensions are available for this benefit. Is this correct?

Thank you.
I am afraid the ESA legislation does not allow any extension to the standard four weeks to complete and return the form.
I can't advise you to return it late, the problems associated with your doing so are too great to make this a viable option. You could return the form incomplete and provide the remaining information as soon as you can afterwards.
