esa - dwp fitnote text was created by headabovethewater
Thank you for the ongoing handhold this is all so overwhelming and this site is amazing!
I managed to send off my new fit note dated until 26/1/24, im still waiting to hear since posting back esa50 questionnaire.

I've received a dwp text but the query is - it says your next fitnote is due on 27/4/24

Am I missing something or have I done something wrong 🤔

Hi,

From your message - it sounds like a typo to me. 3 months too long.

Regards, Chris.

Ooh I hope so, are they known for typos 🤔😅 wonder if anyone else has experienced it? Would you make sure to send one when your fitnote actually runs out?

Hi again,

Well I don't know about typo's as such, but I have heard numerous people mention things said incorrect about them, including myself after the HCP assessment.

I've only ever put fitnotes in for my UC, until I've had my assessment for LCW/LCWRA - This is the UC50. You mentioned ESA50, which I believe is the old employment support allowance system - unfortunately I've no experience with this, so you may need one of the more experienced mods, as I believe there may be differences with the 2 forms of benefits.

Regards, Chris.

I'm not sure if it's relevant to what happened with the unusual dates (in case it happens for anyone else) on the text I got from them but I guess I will be finding out soon - yesterday I got my letter for a telephone appointment, a week Monday. Its says its a work capability assessment- does that mean they have decided anything yet? Apologies I'm stressing. I've read the esa guide is there anywhere else I should be prepping also? Thank you. Can't wait for it all to be finished.

Hi headabovethewater

If you have been sent an assessment appointment - no decision will be made until your assessment has taken place.
