Are reviews suspended?

Hi , on another forum I've been told that reviews for work capability assessments have been suspended and mom won't be called for another assessment any time soon. 

Is this true? I thought assessments were still being done or is it just new claiments?

    Reviews are currently suspended yes. The new claims backlogs are huge.

    It's with seeing others saying they've had a phone assessment ect so I thought they were still doing assessments but I'm assuming their for new claiments then

    That's correct. That's why reviews are suspended. New claims are not reviews.

    Thank you , so the only people being assessed for work capability are new claiments?
