renwal of esa (support group)

just to let you all know, I was due to go through the process of renewing esa this month, I had to change bank , gave my details and politely enquired about my renewal , I was told that my claim has already been assessed and has been extended to 2017!
I didn't know what to say or do, I was glad I didn't have to go through all the usual b.........
I wonder if anybody else has had something like this happen to them?

Hi,

Welcome to Benefits and Work

If your forum name is also your real name, you may wish to change it to maintain some anonymity.

This can be done quite easily by following the instructions on this FAQ :

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?

You will not have been reassessed, more likely that your ESA re-assessment that was due shortly has been deferred for two years.

Yes, this has happened to many claimants/members, deferments have been going on since January 2014.

Have a look at the following links :
