How long to wait for response to WCA?

Yeah i know thanks but I was replying to mikey who said he’d sent in the wca for his entitlement for esa. I said I think he meant ESA50 forms. He wondered if anyone else was still waiting and I said i still am and sent the forms in the same time as him. I put a further post under an old post of mine saying I was still waiting but i didnt get a response probably because I wondered how much longer and no one could really tell me. I phoned to ask if i could send further medical evidence over a week ago and was told they were still waiting for my doctors information. My doctors had farmed this out to a group called IGPR or something. Anyone im wondering if this is why its taking so long. Like Mikey I just want to know whether i need a WCA or not.

Chocolady, it was a WCA form that I sent - by recorded delivery.

Thankfully, I received a reply today and I've been able to retain my entitlement to ESA
It took over 7 weeks to receive a reply. But at least the stress is over. Thanks for all the help I received on this Forum from the moderators and members. Good luck to all members waiting for their own reply to forms submitted - hope you don't have to wait too long - and hope you all receive a favourable response.

Hi
I had a telephone assessment and a decision in writing two weeks later saying I remain in the support group.

Oh I see i thought a wca was the assessment you had to attend if the dwp wouldnt accept the information on your ESA50 review forms. Im still waiting glad you got a good result.

Most people have to have either a telephone or video assessment after completing the esa50 forms.
Very few people are having f2f assessments.
My telephone assessment lasted over an hour.
It wasn't easy by any means.
I was last assessed in 2016 and the
form came out of the blue.
I just hope they leave me alone now until I reach state retirement age.

Oh no i bet it wasnt easy its a pity the people who love to bash claimants dont have a go at filling out the awful forms and sitting the assessments before they wax lyrical. Same with me form came out of nowhere but I just want to know whats happening next now its been since middle of July for goodness sake!! Ive sent them reams of evidence so not sure what the hold up is. I too hope they leave me alone after this but with all the Support group proposals they are proposing it doesnt look likely.
