So I just moved over to UC for ESA , I do I be out in LWC ,even though I should be in the support group, I have been reassessed for over 10 ,my health is significantly worse now, anyway my question is this , I filled in a ESA50 in September 2024, I still haven't had a reassessment, but I sure I be out in the support group, what happens if they don't reassess me till after April 2026, will I lost the money that support group currently gives you, all will I not because my assessment is in process, if it does affect how can I hurry up the DWP can anyone give me some advice

You can contact the health assessment agency to enquire about waiting times. They'll also have a complaints process.

Speak to a trained benefits advisor to see how the upcoming changes might impact you. https://advicefinder.turn2us.org.uk/
