Am i just unlucky ? reassessment

kubit

Afternoon, so yesterday I received an ESA 50 forum. it was my understanding that DWP currently have massive backlogs and are only dealing with some cases. I have been on ESA since 2011 my last review was around June of 2022 on a telephone assessment. does anyone know the typical timescale between returning the forum and the assessment in Cornwall ?  I am in the work related activity group is that's of any help.

Hey there @kubit and a very late welcome to the community! I hope you're doing ok today?

I'm afraid I don't know the typical timescale for assessments, it can vary hugely depending on workloads etc.  Hopefully one of our lovely regulars may be able to give a more informed answer?

I read on the Rightsnet website yesterday there is a pretty quick turn around in Launceston.  From form to decision.  That was a recent discussion.

That was a new application though so not a reassessment

That will be why it was quicker. First WCA can sometimes be very quick.

That was why I thought I would add that bit because it did say a new assessment.  No solid idea for the OP then but hope it all works out for you.

I haven't had anything back from DWP as of yet tomorrow will be a month since the dead line date for returning the ESA50. Still pretty surprised that they got back round to me as quick as they did given the backlogs.

You could be waiting a while before you hear anything.
