Should I be concerned by length of time (ESA) ?

A couple of years ago I was transferred from IB to ESA and got put in WRAG, this happened around 2 and a half months from sending the ESA50 back. Then I got put in support group when the next yearly renewal came around, both were without face to face and took around 2 and a half months to get a decision from the date of sending renewal forms back, which was a phone call from DWP to let me know which group I was in.

I had yet another renewal 3 and a half months back and have not heard anything yet, does this likely mean I will need a face to face given the extra waiting time of a month on top so far ? Obviously you won't know for sure, but I just wondered if extra time has been known to be a normal indicator of a F2F ?

Thanks all.

Hi Benson,

I'm afraid that ATOS/DWP seem to be taking longer and longer to decide claims. You cannot draw any conclusions from the fact that you have not yet heard anything from them.
