Hi, my name is oldschool50s! Is there an age when ESA assessments end?

Hello, Im new, so please forgive if my question is an old one.
I am 60+ years old, and when phoning up about my ESA, I was told that I might be due for an assessment in August 2021.
I haven't had to have on since around 2015?
Isn't there an age when ESA assessments end?
I ask because the possibility of having another one, is making me sleep badly with worry.
Thank you
Mark

They can do assessments anytime while you are claiming bur obviously when you get to pension age it will be pension you get rather than esa so no assessments then -
