Waiting time for appointment from ESA forms old claim was created by Snootyfox
Hi, I have recently had the forms through for an ESA assessment review, I have sent the forms back 6 weeks ago but heard nothing? Does anyone know how long it takes? And if I can change the date of appointment if needed? Thanks

Hi Snootyfox
Unfortunately, we can't tell you how long it will take to hear back. Times are so variable that anything we guess is likely to be incorrect. Some people hear within 8 - 12 weeks, and at worst, some people have been waiting up to 18 months.

From my own experience of having my ESA reviewed earlier this year, new claim assessments are being prioritised over repeat ESA assessments, this was told to me by a call centre agent at CHDA, the assessment provider for my area . It probably varies depending on the area you live (and by extension, the assessment provider company) but I sent my ESA50 review form back to CHDA last December and it was only looked at in March 2024. Prior to that it was awaiting scrutiny. In the end, I managed to get my review dealt with quicker (on a paper assessment) due to being hospitalised and sending in further medical evidence. This was in April 2024, almost 4 months after the ESA50 had been received by the assessment provider. Had I not sent in further medical evidence in mid April, I do wonder if the review would still been ongoing.Hi, I have recently had the forms through for an ESA assessment review, I have sent the forms back 6 weeks ago but heard nothing?
