ESA reassessment deferred?

Hi has a trend for deferrals been noticed? Just wondering if they've started deferring again with them having to trawl through all those PIP claims again to check after the court ruling.

I'm in SG have had a reassessment like clockwork every 2yrs for the last 6, & was due again in March. When i rang in Dec to confirm they said March 2018.
Historically I've received the ESA50 4wks before the reassessment date so have been expecting it, so my carer rang them today just to check that the form hadnt been sent out yet as we'd not received it, & they told her nothing had been sent out & that i was not due for a reassessment until 2020. That my Personal Capability Assessment had a prognosis on it for 15th March 2020.

I never trust what they say on the phone so was wondering if anyone had any extra info, whether this was happening to lots of people or???

I darent feel relief in case the guy was wrong! I think i will ring again nxt wk & see if another operative tells me the same thing before i get excited. But i dont really understand how this can have happened or why it doesnt make any sense to me.

Any comment/info appreciated.

ps i did see another similar thread but didnt like to post on it for fear of hijacking someone elses thread.

At this point we see no trend, some members have reported having their reassessments deferred but we are also seeing a steady stream of members receiving ESA50s.

If you have been told 2020 then I would assume this is correct.

thanks Gordon, it just feels too good to be true!

You could always write and ask for the prognosis to be sent to you, at least then you have a copy in writing and the understanding on how and what gave you that prognosis to assist for the next one.
