Esa reassessment.

My son was sent his esa50 back in January which we filled in and returned straight away. He is being reassessed for esa. He has not had a reply yet and when we phoned dwp they didn't know why and couldn't help. Is this normal for reassessing claims, and if not what can i do.

Hi Mandy and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

The are some delays in ESA decisions, but I would have expected to have heard by now!

You have 2 options -

You can decide that ESA is still being paid and leave well alone (ESA is an indefinite award, so there is no risk of it ending before a decision is made).

Or you can contact the Assessment Provider (Maximus/ HAAS) and ask what is happening ( I had a prompt and courteous reply when I emailed them earlier this year).
