Hi ollieandduke
ESA is an open ended benefit the only way to know when you will be reaassessed is to ring the DWP, doing so will not trigger an early review. Many reviews are being defered, especially SG
CR
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
Its already been deferred once from 2018-2019 x

Im dreading having another assesment i have kept my paperwork from my hospital appointments from the being of my illness but have been told they wont accept them again only new evidence but ive only got 3 new hospital appt letter over 3 years. The only new thing that has happened to me is that i can no longer fetch my prescriptions so i now have them delivered.
I had a home assesment last time do they still do them x -
Hi @ollieandduke, it is still possible to arrange home assessments, yes:If your illness or disability makes it difficult or impossible for you to travel to an assessment, you can ask for the assessment to be done at home instead. Tell the Health Assessment Advisory Service when they call – they’ll ask you to provide information from your doctor, or other medical professional, to explain why you can’t travel.

Hi ollieandduke,
Unfortunately being reassessed for health related benefits, whether it is ESA or PIP is unavoidable. Let's just hope you get a good assessor who will make the right decision for you whenever the time comes.
