ESA Reg 29 provisions were removed for new claims by the 2016 Welfare Reform and Work Act

That's not correct, Reg 29 still exists, please see the link i posted above. What was abolished for new claims from 3rd April 2017 was the WRAG/LCW component/element. https://cpag.org.uk/welfare-rights/resources/article/changes-welfare-reform-and-work-act-2016

Abolition of the work-related activity component

Sections 15 and 16 abolish the work-related activity component for ESA and the limited capability for work element of UC. The government has said this will be implemented from April 2017, with transitional protection for existing claimants.

This isn't a new claim for Hughie, it's a review of an existing claim that started before the changes took place.
