Quick question about posting ESA form was created by CLINE
Would be grateful if you get time tonight to help as posting it in morning 
But I understand you are all busy
My documents will all fit in the ATOS envelope, my common sense would be to send it
signed for of some sort.
Should I staple the extra information etc to the form?
Vaguely recall reading either not to do that or to do it..
Thanks All

You need to securely attach any additional pages to the ESA50, you can use a staple, but make sure that the questionnaire can be fully opened, if you have one I would recommend a treasury tag, with a staple you run the risk of things being detached if there are a lot of pages.
Do not forget that most Post Offices are only open in the morning plus there is a postal strike tomorrow and Monday is a Bank Holiday, so your packet is unlikely to be delivered before Tuesday.
There are various tariffs you can use, often the choice boils down to cost;
- Certificate of posting, this is free, delivery will depend on what class you use.
- Recorded Delivery, signed for at ATOS
- Guaranteed Delivery, signed for plus delivery should be made on a particular day.
The actual PO services may have different names, but I hope you get the idea.

Thanks Gordon for the reply..
Love the idea of the treasury tag sadly don't have one, but never mind I have only 4 pages of extra information so should be ok with the old staple.
Yes, read about the post office strikes and it looks to be Crown Post Offices..never heard of them myself. Looking online my area may not be affected which is Wirral.
Very nervous once the form has gone..I can do no more and it is out of my hands Yikes
Thanks again
