Are DWP no longer issuing ESA50 forms?
Is this happening in your area?
We have identified clients where the ESA50 has simply not been issued and the client remains on the assessment phase rate - in some cases over a year - DWP have informed client that they are in the pending pile…....
And have just spoken to ATOS - they advise assessments are still being undertaken in all areas although they did acknowledge there are some delays…........
Seems logical I suppose…..get rid of the WCA backlog by never issuing the ESA50 in the first place…..never mind the financial impact on the client at the end of the process!!
