How long for the basic ESA rate to be assessed/paid

[dekaspace]

Was told 14 working days for assessment and 3 for payment but my final sign off from JSA is only about 10 days money so short of cash.

 

I know I can get a crisis loan but want to keep that for an actual emergency.

 

Saying that though am waiting for backdated DLA but dont know when that is either! Sent back the form at the weekend and they say once recieved its 3 days.
