I was assessed in Sept 2019 for the above and granted
 standard rate for both descripters and put on to the incapable of working scenario. Does anyone know when I will be reassessed again roughly or can it be anytime as I was reassed for PIP home living after three years and granted the standard rate again for all descripters?

    My award is being awarded from 17th Jan to 15 Dec 2025. I understand the DWP can reassess anytime of course

    My apologies that was for my very recent PIP assessment in December last year .
    To answer your question no it doesn't say anything regarding reassessed date for Esa. It could be anytime now then

    This is not correct. There is no standard rate for both when claiming ESA, this applies to PIP only.
    For ESA there are 2 possible groups .. Support Group or Work related activity Group (WRAG) both groups do not require you to work. 
    Regardless of which group you are in, you remain in that group until another decision says otherwise.
    You can be reassessed anytime from 3 months and the time they give you is just a guide. At the moment there’s huge backlogs which is likely why you haven’t received another work capability assessment form yet.

    ESA (or UC WCAs) decisions, unlike PIP, do not have dates attached to them on the decision letters. DWP will have a suggested review date on their file but the existing decision continues until such time as such a review actually takes place and a new decision is made.

    It will happen when it happens. With the backlog on first time assessments reassessments are probably lower priority at present.

     M. S is such an unpredictable condition  but degenerative. It appears the government are trying to save money  and yet again disabled people are targeted. I'd love to hear others experiences of being reassessed  on here  as I don't know any disabled people where I live here to chat to. Thanks for reading this :)

    I have been on the support group since 2019 as I was transferred over from incapacity benefit in 2017.
