Was it the ESA50 form? if so, if you sent it late they will stop you're benefit and could maybe sanction you so much unless you have a good reason for it being late.

Are you currently fully on ESA (Support Group or Work Related Group) or are you still in the lower rate processing part of it?

I think it was see anything has changed I have learning diffculties my mum did form for me she suffers with bipola soon she will be getting help from social servcies she did say that i in the form just update , I am not sure I dont have go any meetings or do activies like ctech make you do
Question Author
Its work related activite group
You'll have to put in an appeal explaining why the form was late and if they accept your reason for lateness your benefit will be re-instated and your form will be assessed and probably you will have to attend a work capability assessment to determine if you are fit to do some kind of work.If they do not accept the reason you returned your form late you will be treated as fit for work, you can appeal this decision but would not be paid ESA during the appeal and would have to claim JSA and be looking for work while the appeal is heard.

Plus if I am class as disabled ?
Not clear whether you have an existing claim or whether this is a new claim.

If you fail to return the questionnaire within the time period your claim could be stopped, unless you have a good reason.

If you have a good reason you'll need to provide supporting evidence.

If you simply forgot, you may have to make a new appliction.

Its existing claim, how long could this take get payment and go back to normal

Has this ever happen to you

My mum suffers with deppression and anixty with everything I dont know if this is good reaso
if you can't do any work because you are disabled, that's a different thing to not being able to work because of looking after a 10 month old. The statutory legal requirement is to have 14 days off after giving birth - you clearly fall well outside that and would be expected to be looking for work. You may find because you will now have a break in ESA they will treat you as a new claimant and have to assess you again
If you've received a letter saying your claim has ended then your claim has ended. It has stopped. You will receive no more money.

You can ask for that decison to be reviewed if you can provide good reason for failing to return the questionnaire on time.

Otherwise you have to start again with a new application.

How long does it take get your esa back?
well if it's a new application (which it sounds like it will be) how long did it take the first time you applied? I'd count on the same amount
Question Author
I dont know as I set a date with them I start get esa, do you get esa if so how long did it take you ?
I get it and mine took about 6 weeks to come through.
