hi there,

a friend was placed from long term IB and IS on to ESA support group over 2 years ago without medical but today he received another ESA50 inviting him to migrate from IB/IS to ESA...!!

call to DWP and told that he already is on ESA SG and they said fill it anyway - i said i thought from 20 Jan that DWP was no longer reviewing current ESA claimants nor migrating claims from IB to ESA according to your own news items a few months ago - DWP and ATOS today said they had no knowledge of such a news item.

it seems now that ESA claimants will still face ESA50 reviews - i asked when calling ATOS today when DWP asked for a review on him and they said 16 June so he was not in any back log pile...

The office is being told by the DWP (centrally) is that the deferment is national and long term, what we are seeing the forum (and advising on), is the that it is short term and regional.

Our advice remains the same, expect to be re-assessed as normal, if you do not receive an ESA50 as expected then check with ATOS whether one has been issued, this will not cause a re-assessment to be started, and if one has not been sent out, relax for while! :) :) :)
