ESA claim

Thank you. I finally did the phone call for ESA1 today! At the beginning of the phone call I explained to the advisor about how my buy to let is going through the sales process and how I thought this means that the buy to let capital may be disregarded, meaning I may get a little ESA temporarily until it is sold. Anyway I went through the entire process with the guy answering the questions about bank balances etc and also questions on the buy to let such as mortgage payments on it, income after expenses on it, how much buy to let flat worth etc. Then after I hung up all relieved phone call done, I suddenly realised that the guy may not have made notes on the fact that the buy to let is going through the sales process, that question was not a question that appeared on the ESA1 form. So do I just have to wait for the ESA1 statement to come through in the post that I believes comes with a letter asking for photocopies of my bank statements etc, then when sending photocopies of bank statements, fit notes etc should I at that point include a letter explaining buy to let flat going through the sales process? Or do I need to phone ESA people tomorrow to ensure the selling of buy to flat is noted do you think?

Thank you, ignore my repeat posting please! Sorry! I found in government capital disregards literature a bit where it says words to the effect that capital relating to premises can be ignored for up to 6 months if claimant making active steps to sell the premises, but this may be an incorrect interpretation on my part - it will be interesting to see what transpires.

I just wonder if allowing ESA for the interim period whilst trying to sell a property, an asset, is a safety net in case sale is problematic and takes a long time ( possibly my worry) and you run out of money whilst waiting for sale, or if unanticipated circumstances out of the blue suddenly leave you with no savings apart from money tied up in investment property.
