delays in esa and pip medcals

hello, b&w could you tell me how long the back log is for esa and pip medicals and who I may be able to contact to to find out when mine mabe due. i'm overdue I believe, and am on tenterhooks everyday waiting for the postman. thank you

Hi mj,

I am unsure whether you are wondering when you will be reassessed, or whether you are awaiting a face2face having already filled in the reassessment paperwork.

If you wish to know when to expect reassessment you can phone DWP and ask. If you have already filled in paperwork and want to know if/when you will be called for a face2face you will need to phone the assessment provider (ATOS/Capita/Maximus).

hi, no I havn't even had any word at all, my medical was in September 2012 i, was placed in wrag, appealed , won appeal in june 2013 and claimed esa. I have never filled in a pip claim form and am still on high rate mobility. so I expect esa medical and pip claim anytime, I expect they are both long overdue. thank you

Hi mp08,

With respect to your ESA re-assessment, you could ring :

THE ESA PHONE NUMBER DWP : 0345 608 8545 (Open 8AM-6PM. Mon-Fri.)

Where they should have the recommended date for your re-assessment on-screen.

If you have an Indefinite DLA Award, you could be "Invited" to claim PIP anytime over the next 2-3 year period.

See : This Post in The Spotlight Area above the Forum.

thank you, I had life time award dla in 1996, I know that no longer counts, when I had esa in 2012 the health provider recommended at least 2 years or maybe even beyond that, in her report. also could you tell me where I could obtain a wca handbook? I keep reading about them, but have never seen one. thank you.

Hi mj08,

You obviously didn't look very hard !!!

There is a link to the latest version of The WCA Handbook 2nd link down under "DWP ESA Resources" on : This Page

Which you can access via the "Members Only Guides" link to the top left of the Forum.
