ESA reassessment

in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Hi everyone,

I sent my ESA50 questionnaire back almost 2 months ago and I've still not heard anything, I've been claiming ESA for a number of years and I've not been reassessed since before the pandemic. Just wondering how long it's likely to be before I hear back from them with either a decision or assessment appointment date?

Kind regards

    Unfortunately, there are no timescales. Some hear quite quickly and others many months. 

    Most people have assessments so you should expect one of those. They are mostly by telephone but some are face to face and video. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Maybe they have a backlog or they've decided that some people don't need to be reassessed until next year.
