I know I may sound pessimistic, but i'm afraid that's the way atos make you feel. thanks very much for all your help and good luck to everyone on this site.
Hi mpj,
The only way to be sure of your next reassessment date, is to ring the DWP on the number on any ESA letters.
You will probably get through to a call responder in a Call Centre. They "may" have the reassessment date on screen. However, to be sure, I would recommend that you request a call back from The WCA Team in the Benefits Office/Centre, that administers your current ESA.
These Tribunal recommendations are just that, and have no legal standing.
As Gordon has pointed out recently, if these recommendation were adhered to, and were taken from the date of the Tribunal decision, (as is the intention) then this could mean that someone may enjoy an ESA award for longer than the permitted 3 years maximum.
On the other hand, we have had members who have challenged a reassessment before the one recommended by The Tribunal by involving their M.P., and they have been successful.
I suppose it may depend on the original date of the adverse decision appealed, and how long a prognosis any Tribunal recommendation would result in, from that date.
