Hi does pip assessment given light touch 10 years for pip. Mean it be the same for esa. I read on here that dwp are making decisions based on the pip outcome or via versa esa. I have a assessment due next march. But like know if my circumstances health hasnt changed and do they look at the pip decision. To give same for esa decision. As my health has got worse they got my updated records from g.p. i assume. As it said the records we hold is the clearest there are and we decided to give pip light tough review in ten years. I am just anxious alot as not heard about esa. Will they say same when my next assessment. Is there a way i could get themto look at it early now they got my health decision up date do they get it ftom my dr to find this out it didnt say in letter. Do i still need get additional functional report also as i attend a clinic now for M.E. appreciate advice. Can clinics say no to support letter they gave me one years ago. Hope hear answer.

Hi Nicola
ESA is a totally different benefit from PIP and the review dates are different. ESA is reviewed every three years while PIP is reviewed at the time given to individuals - in your case ten years.
You will still be sent a review form for your ESA - but it doesn't mean you will have to have an assessment, but as it stands at the moment you will have to complete the form and send in any relevant evidence. If you want to report a change in circumstances about your health as you say it has deteriorated you can do so for ESA and it will probably trigger a review. Do not assume the outcome to be that you will never be reviewed again until they tell you.
You can always access your old hospital records if you put in a request to do so.
