I have just received form to fill in for my ESA benefits it was only back in October that I had assesment from DLA to PIP of which I was successful I been looking at the book and it's more or less like DLA.I have been on ESA for 10years and this is the 5th time I am having to do book again .Do you think it would be of any benefit to me to contact job centre to tell them I have just been successful for Pip or am I just clutching at straws

Hi,PIP and ESA are completely different benefits and claiming PIP makes no difference to your ESA review. Unfortunately, they can re-assess you anytime from 3 months for ESA and once you receive the form you need to fill it in and return it no later than the date stated in the letter. If you fail to return it then your ESA will stop.Contact an advice centre near you for help filling in the form. If you're unable to find help then this guide may help you.Don't forget to send relevant evidence to support your claim with the form because they rarely contact anyone for this. Good luck.
