esa reassessment delays

Hi, I was wondering what the latest news is on when ESA reassessments will be started again by maximus after all the deferrals?

Also on DLA to PIP - I notice that certain postcodes are now starting to call indefinite/lifetime awards in. Is there any information as to when other areas will be added to this or will it just be a case of the DWP being a law unto themselves?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm afraid we have no further information regarding ESA reassessments. You might recall that there was never a public announcement about the delay, the information was gained through an FOI request. I wouldn't expect there to be an announcement when they recommence either.

As to claimants with indefinite DLA, the DWP have recently said that they intend to bring forward the migration and start straight away, as seen in this news item :
