    That will make no difference because they are still suspended. The only assessments that are taking place are first time claims and change of circumstances.

    If you ring DWP they will tell you your review date. According to what they told me today, they are no longer suspended and they are doing reviews.

    When ringing ESA you're speaking to someone from a call centre who has very little knowledge of the benefits system. Reviews are still suspended.

    I responded on the other thread. I was posting due to a friend having a review exactly when they were told.
