I am on ESA and my award is till January 2020. In actually don't know why my award was for one year. I had initially been assessed by a doctor in Edinburgh and never had a decision for over 6 months and when I followed up DWP advised me the assessment wasn't adequate and I HD to have another one and a doctor duly flew from London and assessed me at home
Subsequently my award was for a year. Now I have received this questionnaire so I'm worried sick. Does this mean I will have to undergo another assessment (on the letter it says I may be asked to attend a face to face assesment)

I assumed it would be a case of renewing the award via a letter or something

Thanks

Hi Thabo

It's a question I cannot answer. You have to fill in the questionnaire and they may or may not decide to send you for another face to face assessment.

Hi Thabo

The DWP are reassessing a large number of people and in the majority of cases, they have a face to face.
