Are reviews suspended or not?
Getting confused on if reviews for ESA are still suspended or not. I'm not talking new claims only reviews.

Am I right that reviews for ESA as in my mom's last assessment was in 2020 and if suspended she won't get a ESA50 in the…

WCA - PIP Eating and Drinking
I know PIP and ESA serve different purposes but will the DM at DWP at least do a quick cross-check to see if I get PIP and the points given for certain activities before making a decision following the WCA ? I am thinking specifically of Q18 Eating and Drinking on the ESA50 which overlaps with PIP. I guess that by typing…

ESA50
By scoring a total of 15 points in any 'one' activity are you put by default into the limited capability for work related activities group or are there other considerations at play ? Is it down to the Health Assessor at the WCA or DWP ? ESA seems a lot more focused on specific tasks compared to PIP - how on earth do I get…
