There will be a return date on the letter accompanying the form. SeeHello. Can anyone help. I am receiving the ESA 50 any day. The letter saying they would phone was dated 5 days before the letter arrived. Is the 4 weeks to fill the form from the date on the letter with the form (which I presume is true) or from when I receive it. With the Christmas post I could lose a week! And the GP's surgery will be closed for much of the holidays, so getting a letter of support on time will be very hard. Been ill for years and left alone. Not now. Worried on all counts.
How long do I have to complete the ESA50?

Hi C64,
The 4 weeks to fill in your form is from when you receive it.
Enclosed with the ESA50 form will be a letter giving you a deadline date to return it to ATOS.
You could start filling the Pdf version in now, from here :
Use Of The Interactive PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire
Using our ESA Claims guides from here :

I'm sorry if our answers have not been as clear as they could have been.Thank you for your answers. But, how do the DWP know when I have received it? It might be delayed by the Christmas post.
There will be a date on the letter accompanying the ESA50, this will specifiy when the ESA50 has to be returned by.
I'm afraid there will be no allowance for the Christmas post, or Christmas itself.
See How long do I have to complete the ESA50?
