ESA reassessment cancelled

Hi
I have been looking on other posts and I have noticed some people being advised to send in a SAR. Does a SAR consist of everything the DWP has ever used to make every benefit decision in the past or just information on the last decision they made on a claimant? I still have not received a decision notice and I am thinking of sending in a SAR instead of a request for the esa85a form ect. With the thought of next time I need to go through the process, as well as getting to know what the decision is this time.
Many thanks

Hi PO,

My best advice would be to request all and anything that you think will be helpful in disregard of the date that the documentation was generated.

The DWP have stated that they have a policy of destroying documentation after 14 months.

However, I "think" that this would be the case with closed/dead claims.

I know of people who have managed to gain copy of DWP personal documentation going back 20 years or more via a SAR.

If you don't ask, you can't get !!
