Hi Peter
You are having a bit of bad luck.
A number of questions;
1) did you make a copy of the UC50 form
2) did you return the form by recorded delivery
You need to contact DWP and ask them, usually they will ask you to send in a copy of the completed form if you made a copy if not then you may have to complete a new UC50 form. check out our guide to help you. Our UC and ESA claim guide explains the criteria that you will need to meet.

New Style ESA is a contributory benefit. Normally, this means you may be able to get it if you’ve paid or been credited with enough National Insurance contributions in the 2 full tax years before the year you’re claiming in.
have you applied for PIP? www.gov.uk/pip if you are not sure if you are eligible try out our PIP self - test PIP self test
