I.B to E.S.A

I have printed it off, included 6 sheets of extra information stapled together.
I have included several reports from consultants, physios and O.T, plus about 20 appointment letters dating back to 2011. I have more appointment letters but to be honest the envelope is bulging and any more information may not help anyway.
My questions are :
Do you think I should highlight the appropriate paragraphs in the letters I have included from consultants etc.....to save whoever looks at all the pages getting bored bogged down in it all ?
Can I ask for all the information to be sent back to me (like I did when receiving DLA) to help with an appeal or for future reference, I don't think my printer ink will take another 40 pages !!
I am still waiting for an up to date physio report but I want to get the forms posted ASAP so can I send this later to the same address
Also I have read that people send the documents to the decision maker also, what address would I send them to as I assume it is not my local ATOS center
Is there anyway of finding out how long my local office is taking to turn these applications around
Many thanks in advance

It never hurts to draw the eye of the ATOS assessor and the DWP Decision Maker to the relevant sections

No, they will not return it, never send original documents unless specifically asked to, your local Post Office may have copying facilities which may be cheaper than re-printing

Yes you can, make sure it has a covering letter and all documents have your full name, date of birth and National Insurance Number, I would also take a copy to the assessment if you have one and ask for it to be read and then included in your file I would also send a copy to the Decision Maker, see below.

You can send a copy to the DWP office that is dealing with the transfer, this should be on the original transfer letter, mark it for the attention of the Decision Maker and include a covering letter explaining what you have sent.

I am afraid not.
If you have any further questions, please reply to this post.
