I won my ESA tribunal in September 2017 last year. The judge recommended i not be assessed again for a year. Yesterday 18/07/2018, i received a 'capability for work questionnaire' in the post. I contacted Citizens Advice who agreed it was unusual + said it looks like i will have go through the process again + that it looks like they are trying to push me of ESA [again].
Is this a new tactic by DWP? Anyone else experiencing this???

@barry01 I am assuming you went to tribunal either after being found fit for work or challenging a decision. The year in theory starts from the date of your claim not the tribunal decision. Besides that although there is a recommendation or guideline of the time before you are reassessed again they can send you a ESA50 anytime or ask you to attend a face to face assessment to establish whether your situation remains the same.0

@ripples - i challenged decision to withdraw ESA [claim was couple of years old at the time]. Its odd however they would seek assessment 8 months after tribunal decision - although i understand tribunal recommendations [unlike tribunal decisions] are not set in law. I was just wondering how common this was. DWP attended my tribunal [asked one question - didn't challenge decision]0

You can be re-assessed at anytime for ESA.
