Hi,That's great news! The ESA awards letters never state a timescale. This is because ESA support group is an ongoing award BUT they can re-assess you anytime from 3 months.You can ring ESA and ask approximately how long until your next reassessment but as advised, this is only ever a guide because of the 3 month rule. Personally, i never ring to ask how long because i know it makes no different. Some go over that time and some are contacted before that time.

It's always classed as ongoing. I can't answer the question about harassment sorry because i've been claiming ESA since 2013, been assessed 3 times but never had any problems remaining in the support group.
