ESA ASSESSMENTS was created by Bbobb Bear
Hi All I am hoping somebody on this forum can help me please. I am in receipt of ESA & have been since 2015. Been for assessment thru the years, this year 2019 I was called for an Assessment passed it. Everything was OK then less than 6 months after I got another form to fill in for another assessment. So I called DWP the man looked into it & told me to ignore it it was an error. Later the same day a lady from DWP phoned to say I must send it in, it seems I had only been given 6 months at my last medical Assessment. I had never heard of this. My first Question is : Ive read on this forum of ppl getting to know how long they are on ESA - I've never been told this how do you find out? Second question is if I was given an end date for my ESA by the DWP should my money of been reduced? I went for my Assesment last week, the lady was very nice But I'm concerned my Assessment lasted less than 15 minutes?? But I did put an awful lot more detail this time bcos I've read on this site that that's the way to go. So now I'm waiting to find out my fate!!
I would appreciate anybodies input Please. (Bbobb Bear is only a Facebook name.) many thanks to anyone who reads this xx Tracie

ESA is an indefinite award with scheduled reassessment based on the Prognosis Date completed by the assessor in their report, so your existing ESA award continues in payment until a new Decision is made.
ESA assessments can be anywhere from 3 months to two years for the WRAG and three years for the Support Group, you can find out when you are likely to be reassessed by contacting the DWP office dealing with your claim, the information will be on your computer record, or requesting a copy of the assessment report.
