Does anyone have any experience of an ESA medical assessment being cancelled due to pregnancy?

It's not something I have seen before, although the ESA Regulations do take it into account as their is an Exemption if

(d) you are pregnant and there is a serious risk of damage to your health or to the health of
your unborn child if you do not refrain from work


But this would not seem to be the case from your previous posts.

There are two further exemptions, but again, I am unsure if they apply

(e) you are pregnant and within the maternity allowance period and entitled to maternity allowance
(f) you are pregnant and within either six weeks of giving birth or have given birth in the last two weeks and you are not entitled to maternity allowance or statutory maternity pay.
