Hello and welcome @jadesmith3169 and thanks for reaching out today  

I'm not sure, but I don't think there's a need to contact anyone unless you are unhappy with your ESA claim, or need to inform them of a change of circumstance. Does that make sense?

If you’ve been claiming for 4 years then you must be claiming New style ESA, is that correct? 

Therefore you must be in the Support Group, which is £117.60/week. Is that the amount you’re receiving? 

If you weren’t in the Support Group then your payments would have stopped after 1 year.

My payment has not stopped the hole times I been on Esa not on the new esa I am on the old one

If you only have started claiming four years ago (as you stated) in 2019 you must be on new style ESA or have it for longer than four years?
How much ESA are/were you getting? Or do you mean that you have not received anything?
Unfortunately your posts are not clear. It would be helpful if you would provide more information about the history of your claim.
Do you claim any other benefits?

Edit because misread comment.

If you're in the Support Group then you've already been assessed at some point in the past. Reviews are still suspended so it's unlikely you will be reviewed anytime soon. Support Group is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise.

Yes that’s when I was put on esa
