Esa reassessment was created by twosheds
My original ESA was granted after a first tier tribunal award in 2014, for a period of two years following my GP's letter regarding regulation 35, being accepted. and me being placed in the support group
I was sent a a further ESA form in July when the two years were about to expire, and duly submitted along with my GP's previous letter as requested on the form
I have now been told I need to attend a assessment. My condition remains as it has for a number of years.Should I ask my GP for an updated letter to submit to the advisory service?

Most definitely yes. Regulation 35 (and 29 for the WRAG), does not operate in the same way as the other Descriptors, you must show that you still have a significant risk of harm, it is very unlikely that the letter from 2014 will be considered and this may be why you have been asked to attend a face to face.
