Support Group ESA(C)

I was sure when I was awarded my ESA and spoke to them at DWP that reassessment would be within next 2 years.

How severe is this backlog that is mentioned and are people in the Support Group are still suspended for reviews.

It is bad enough worrying about my health never mind this on top not knowing what's happening.

Are they still suspended in this group? Does anyone know? If not how long is the back log of waiting?

It really is unfair that people need to worry like this unsure what is going to happen without all this unknown.

Also how long does ESA( c ) last for? Been in support group short of 2 years on it and wondering if there is time limit on it....

There isn't a time limit on ESA, the award is ongoing.

Yes they are suspended for the majority of people in Support Group. Even in normal times it’s pointless ringing them to ask when your referral date is because it’s just a guide.
