Unless you have written confirmation from the DWP with regard to this new date, you should complete and return the ESA50 by the date on the original ATOS letter.

OK, just to confirm what I think you are saying, the ATOS letter has a return date in approximately four weeks and the date that the DWP gave you over the phone is now less than two weeks away.

You have a statutary right to have six weeks to complete and return the ESA50.

Assuming my dates above are correct, I would suggest you write to your local JCP, say you have now found the missing letter and will be returning your ESA50 to the dates originally given to you to do so and that if they have a problem with you doing so, to contact you by return of post, otherwise you will assume that this is OK.

Write to the office dealing with your claim, the address will be on the letters they have previously sent you.

This would be a good case for sending it Recorded Delivery :)
