The Transfer Process.
You do not have to speak to either Atos or the DWP on the telephone about your impending transfer to ESA. The ESA50 form will be automatically sent to you in due course, in the absence of any telephone contact.

Hi tm,
It is possible to go through the whole process without telephone contact if you so wish, however please be aware that it may well be to your advantage to talk to the DWP Decision Maker over the phone, regarding your award of ESA in the latter stages of the ESA WCA.

It was to inform me about my SDP backpay. (Your thread came up when I googled the number).
I didn’t pick up the first time, but they phoned again soon after my google.

Interestingly they said that reviews were now taking a year! As my award would run out before then I queried. Apparently they are just extending until the Review has been dealt with.
They also said that mine was the fourth they had with the same query of a call received with what appeared to be no reason. They would now raise with their line managers.
