can medical questionairre be postponed

i have a friend who has just recieved the esa questionairre as she is migrating from incapacity benefit to esa. she has got heart problems as well as fibromyalgia and is under going alot of tests at moment. she would like to know if the questionairre can be postponed until she has had all the test done.

No, I'm afraid not.

Atos will expect the ESA50 completed and returned by the due date, but your friend can make mention of the fact on page 18 under "Other information" that she is undergoing hospital tests at the present time.
