My first day of ESA was 17th OCT 2011, and I have just had my medical assesment on 17th this month. Sorry not very good with math but pretty sure it was waaayy past 13 wks. I finally rang Atos the company that do the assessing and got the appointment.Hope this helps.

Hi Tracey it wouldnt be so bad if they let you know if there is a delay as you say dread the postman but every brown envelope that comes now just says your new sick note is now due, they would soon let us know if we owed them any money, good luck tho x
