Esa ? Reassessment

Jules wrote: In April 2012 I completed ATOS Dwp work capability form and was taken off IB and awarded ESA support group status/contributions benefit which began July 2012, I did not have to attend a medical /face to face assessment.

Today I have received a Limited capability for work questionnaire ESA50 01/13 and a letter stating to complete the form and I may be converted from IB to ESA .

This is confusing as I'm already on ESA in the Support group ...is it a reassessment or a mistake

Any advice most welcome

We have seen this several times in the last few months, the DWP and/or ATOS appear to be sending out the wrong covering letter with the ESA50, I would still check with the DWP that you are being re-assessed, but in the absence of any other information, you should complete the ESA50 in detail and return it by the required date.

Please be aware that both the ESA Descriptors and Regulations have been updated since you last completed an ESA50, you should refer to the latest ESA Claim guides in the Members area for the changes.
