My partner was advised by the job centre in March 2012 that he was put into CB ESA. Today he received yet another questionnaire from Atos with the request to return within 4 weeks. Called the jobcentre who confirmed this is correct, but also told me that the CB ESA will only be paid for 365 days and that it is means tested. This info is contrary to your advise (#82705) which said:

As your partner has been placed into the Support Group of CB ESA time limiting does not apply and means testing does not apply.

Maybe I misunderstood your information ???? Please kindly let me have your comments as to whether it is correct that Atos want another questionnaire 6 months after the first one was sent and whether my partner's CB ESA is or is not limited to 365 days and whether or not it is means-tested. Many thanks, Wolf

With regard the ESA50, all ESA claimants should expect to be re-assessed regularly, see

How often will I be reviewed

The Time limiting is based on time spent receiving ESA(CB) while in the WRAG, time spent in the Support Group will not count towards the total, see

12 Month Limit for ESA(CB)
