    Hi,

    I have no idea why your GP hasn't received the letter/form to be honest. It's usually a form that they send a GP for the ESA assessment rather than a letter.  Post from DWP can take anything up to 10 working days. 16th July was just 6 working days ago because you can't count weekends. Post coming from DWP goes through the same mail sorting process as when post goes to them, it's also always sent out 2nd class too and this takes longer. Add the 2nd class post to the mail sorting process and it all adds up.

    No unfortunately you won't be able to have a copy of the letter/form May i ask why you want a copy of the letter?  You can either ask them to send it to your GP again or ask your GP to contact them (i'm not sure if your GP is willing to do this)

    I know it's stressful but there's really nothing more you can do other than what i've already suggested. Try not to stress too much, easier said than done i know but stressing will only make you worse.

    Good luck. Hope you sleep well during these rather hot nights we're having rolleyes

    Please do remember that most people have assessments for ESA reviews, it's rare to have that paper based assessment. You'll need a lot of evidence to support your claim to have this paper based assessment.
