      Did you ring to ask for a copy of the assessment report? This will tell you what the decision will most likely be.

      ESA award letters never ever state how long the award is for, this is because they can re-assess you at any time. Claimants need to ring ESA if they want to know how long the award is for.

      Hi Dru, It won't tell you on the award letter how long the ESA award is for. If you want to know then you'll need to ring them and ask.

      They could have contacted someone from your list of contacts. This is very rare but it can and does happen. They contacted 2 people from my daughters contacts but they rang them for confirmation, rather than send for the evidence.

      Hopefully not too long now.

      Dru, you were talking to someone from DWP 9 times out of 10 they aren't very clued up. They basically read from a computer screen and most of them have no idea what they're talking about.

      Yes, i only ever speak the truth, you should know me by now. wink
