Review after 3 months

After going through the hassle of the original form getting letters from.medical professionals etc I have now received the exact same form to fill in 3 months later. Is this right? I'm so stressed out over it and it's not helping my anxiety at all having to fill this in again so soon. I have just recently been reviewed for pip again after 12 months and yet to here the outcome of this. Are the two linked? I feel that all I've done for the past 3 months is til out forms and I'm back to where i started! Can't anyone help? Do I have to get letters/supporting documents from my medical team again or will I just say nothing had changed from the previous form ?

Hi @boots123
I’m sorry to hear about the problems you’ve been having with PIP. It sounds like a really stressful time for you.
Unfortunately, PIP reviews and reassessments from the DWP can take place at any time. There’s more information about PIP reviews on the Turn2Us website which you might find interesting.
The Government has also recently announced that they plan to end PIP reviews for people with the most severe health conditions, and publish more information this summer. While there has yet to be an update, our benefits advisors wrote more about the plans in another discussion on the community which may be of interest to you.

But ESA can do them as and when.....
Sorry to hear this.
@boots123 did you ever ask for the assessment report ESA85 if you went to an assessment, or did you have a Paper Based assessment its then an ESA85A form.

@Markmywords I see you diden't read this thread, the links you've supplied is to do with PIP.
And this has nothing to do with PIP. It's an Emploment and Support Allowance (ESA) problem this member is having issues with.
Also (inappropriately to soon) will not cut it here and is not advisable.
@boots123 As you've had a Paper Based assessment I would firstly phone the DWP and ask them for the ESA85A, and also ask them which group and how long you was put in this group and explain in full your concerns, as the ESA50 form is sent out from Maximus the assessment provider and may just May be sent out in error.

I really think some people need to chill instead of posting drivel about others in an open forum, I think the weather is getting to them

Following on from @poppy123456 good advice above have you recieved a form like this one here called an ESA50.
If its not this form can you upload a photo photo or give the number of the form or letter you've recieved without you personal details.
Also to note what poppy has said you will not now how long you was placed in the Support group with your decision letter, you need to phone the DWP and ask for the assessment form ESA85 if you attended an assessment or had a home visit.
If you was placed in the Support Group which was done on a Paper Based assessment then you need to ask for the form ESA85A and then thes will give you an idea how long your award is for before review.
Here is a sample photo my latest ESA85A as I had a Paper Based assessment No face to face.
As you can see I'm in the Support Group and a review after 2 years.

So if I get reviewed earlier than that above there will be hell to pay because I think it would be so unfair by doing this to peopl and with having these forms with what the assessment provider has said.
I really can't se why the the DWP need the assessments in the first place if they can change the rules as they go along. Ridiculous...

I have to agree with what @poppy123456 stated you must fill it out and also make sure you get I sent back before the deadline. Send it recorded delivery.
Try and detail everything you can, use extra sheets of paper if needed and include you name and NI to each and added extra sheets, and gets as much evidence that backs everything up and how it affects you. Remember this is about the working environment which is different to PIP even though the PIP can overlap with ESA.
Good luck boots123
