Hello there, I can see from other forums such as 'benefits and work' that ESA reviews has in fact restarted as people get reassessments even though they were given ESA long time ago (such as 5 years). Myself has been told that my prognosis review date is in August. While I know it's a prognosis I also started to feel that it will actually happened. And because of my wrongful thinking that they have not restarted I will not be properly prepared for it. There are in fact people who have those reviews by the looks of it and not only change in circumstances.

    I'm not aware of them restarting other than 3 members in the past 6 months or so saying they received the forms. If they have then there will be long delays because of backlogs. The review date they give you is just a guide and nothing more. As we are only in May then you can start to prepare for it now if you want to.

    Poppie, so are you saying that these reviews are still on hold? So why do these people say they are getting these forms? Do you think they are on hold?

    As I keep advising, I’ve not seen anything other than a few members saying they’ve received a form. There's nothing official anywhere on the internet to suggest they've started back.
