Hi. I’m in the support group for esa and I am aware that my review will be due around Feb. But I’ve just read a few posts that says all reviews are suspended? Is that still the case and is there anywhere I can read that confirms this. I’m quite anxious about it to be honest but I don’t want to call them either.

    Yes they are still suspended. Support Group is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise. I'm afraid i can't add a link that confirms they are still suspended, or a link to confirm reviews have started again because there's nothing on the internet.

    The only WCAs that have continued at new claims and change of circumstances.

    Thank you this helps alleviate my anxiety a bit. How do you know it’s suspended if there isn’t any confirmation of that. Was you due a review yourself and haven’t had one? Thanks again

    Because they were suspended during the start of the pandemic and they haven't yet resumed. Yes, i claim ESA myself, my last review was just as the pandemic started, so almost 3 years ago.

    There's many other threads here with the same question.
