What does this mean? was created by redcat
I have been having my ESA reassessed every year and this time round it says for prognosis “I advise that work is unlikely in the longer term”. It also says I have severe functional disability and there is no mention of when I will be reassesssd as there normally is. I rang the DWP but they didn’t know either. So can I dare to hope from this that I may be put in the group that is not reassessed?
Also, as the report is so strongly in my favour can this influence the decision when you are moved from DLA to PIP?

The phrase "unlikely in the longer term" should result in your next reassessment date being two years if you are in the WRAG and three years if you are in the SG.
DLA claimants are being chosen at random so I would not expect you to be invited to claim PIP as a result of this ESA Decision.

What I meant was whenever I’m moved from DLA to PIP would the fact that my ESA assessment was so strongly in my favour be taken into account when judging my PIP claim. For example perhaps mean I’m put in the soft touch group? I have Addison’s Disease so stress can cause me to go on to adrenal crisis which could kill me so I wondered.

PIP and ESA, even where there are areas of overlap, have different criteria so it is not standard practice for those assessing you to refer to any of your ESA information, so if you want them to then you need to include the ESA report as part of the evidence you submit for your PIP claim, you will need to explain why it is relevant to your limitations in regard to the PIP activities.
