Renewal of ESA? was created by King_Drax_I

My daughter has been on ESA for just over a year. Three months ago, she as asked by the DWP to resubmit her application for he annual review (I think it was), so we did that. Part of her application included a doctor's note saying that being interviewed would be harmful to her health. We have not heard anything back from the DWP and her ESA is still being paid. Do I assume that she has been awarded a continuation of her claim, and that they are not going to interview her? Or could it be that they are going to stop her claim and recclaim all that they have paid her since March?

Hi Drax

The only thing you can be certain of at this moment is that her ESA is being paid. Once they have made a decision you will hear from them.

Hopefully, they have accepted your doctor's advice, regarding an assessment but it is not a given.

Be aware that if you do receive a continuation letter they are worded so badly that it's not even obvious, that's what it is.

if it is the worst-case scenario and the decision is to stop her ESA it will be from the date on the decision letter.
