TIMESCALE FOR DECISION ON A ESA REASSESSMENT FORM

Hi

I have just received my ESA Reassessment and only been in the support group for 10 months is this right please.

Hi misslincs and welcome to the forum. This link should help you find your way around the site.

Welcome to Benefits and Work

The fact is that ESA is an open ended award that can be reassessed at any time once 3 months have elapsed since the decision. Nevertheless, 10 months is rather sooner than usual! Was your ESA awarded directly on application or did it go to reconsideration/appeal?

Please make full use of our ESA guide when filling in the form and reply to this message if/when you have further questions. You will find it easily in future if you bookmark/favourite it on your web browser now

ESA claims and appeals

Hi

Thank you for your reply, DWP advised me that I was put in the Support Group for 1 year and I have R Arthritis which will not get any better and have to be assessed again

Unfortunately I've just received the dreaded ESA50 form today and was only awarded support group status last April following a harrowing WCA.

I am beside myself with rage because I'm also awaiting the dreaded main PIP form as well. It never rains but it pours so now have BOTH ESA and PIP claims to deal with at the same time which I'm really upset about.
