Reassesment exclusions

ollieandduke

I was on here this morning asking about reassesments.
My very good friend works for a benefit office and hes told me that from  october 2018 anyone with severe ongoing illnesses will be exempt from a  esa reassesment and will be notified when there due for a reassesment if they are exempt or not. He doesnt work for one by me he lives far away but i reckon it is the same for all claiments. He says its on the goverment website
It doesnt state any thing regarding a crumbling spine or severe back problems but my prognosis is that i can never work again as anyone else heard of this lately

These new rules won't apply to everyone. Those that are currently in the Support Group only, may qualify after their next re-assessment. If you're one of them then you'll know once a decision is made. More information here.
