I am a bit confused by the term re referrals.
I am in Support Group and should have been reassessed in Oct 2013 but as yet I have not heard anything.
When do you think I will hear anything

I am afraid there is no way that we can give you any idea when you might be re-assessed.

There are apparently 700,000 ESA assessments outstanding at the moment so the DWP suspended re-assessments in January, however, there is clearly going to be considerable regional variation in the queues and they will be looking to restart re-assessments as soon as they can, albeit in a limited form.

Bottom line is that you might receive a new ESA50 next week or next year, all we can recommend is that you are prepared for it when it does actually arise.

I am in a simular position to youself Citymike, I was told that I would get a esa50 in or around August 2013 but it never came, stupid me, I thought, wonder if I was the one that got away !!! maybe a computer error.
This was before all the news came to light about the massive backlog as they coulden't hide it any longer.
I am thinking that the cut off date early this year maybe claiments that were due after this cut off date will get a reprive but us that were due for a review prior to the cut off date will be in a pile at atos waiting for the esa50 to be sent, seems some are still getting esa50's sent to them.
As usual its a waiting game, was thinking of taking my letter box out of my front door :laugh: maybe a bit drastic.

Regards, Derek.
