ESA50 Question 3 & 4 Question + Electronic Version

Hi Stuart

I have noticed that the printed version of the ESA50 together with the envelope is slightly smaller than A4 (perhaps to save money on posting a large letter?).

As the DWP have a complete inability to keep bits of paper together and would need the assistance of a staple, I used one of my own envelopes and postage stamps to avoid folding the pages into a bundle.

I just posted the damn thing, to be honest I wanted rid of the sight of it, especially after the telephone call earlier this morning with some DWP f-wit who told me that its a mandatory medical unless your terminally ill which I know isn't right nor in the rules / laws but she was not for backing down.

Well at least I get a treat tonight with opening a well deserved bottle of pretty decent red wine with a curry at a friends and sod what it does to my blood sugar levels.

I felt the same way as you Stuart - I couldn't get rid of the damn thing fast enough. I must add that I have never gone out of my way to get any proof of posting. Just another potential layer of frustration. They clearly have received all my documents and there have been no calls to or from them.

But, I will be writing up the medical as it was horrible, i waited one hour and the waiting area a tip with no decent (at the least) chairs to sit in (I spent this hour in a car) and the doctor had 2 mobiles ringing! Only after they rang twice did he turn them off!!! This was at 2.30 in the afternoon! Deplorable situation.

You enjoy that fine wine. I hope you feel all the best medicinal effects of a good glass of wine. You deserve it.

Hi

Concerning fitting things into envelopes. We have recently resorted to Origami - the art of paper folding - we had no choice as we couldn't fit the DLA form, together will all the supporting evidence, into the pre-paid envelope! - lol
