ESA awards are indefinite with frequent re-assessment so the award letter never include the re-assessment date unless an ESA72 is included, but this is very rare. Give the DWP office that dealt with your claim a call they should be able to give you the information from the computer system, failing that request a copy of the ESA85 medical report if you had a face to face assessment, or the ESA85A if you did not, the prognosis is usually used to set the re-assessment date.
