ESA reassessment

edited July 2018 in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
I've been on ESA since 2014, and this February I got the forms for a reassessment, sent them back in mid February, and haven't actually had anything back from them, seems strange to be waiting for 5 months (so far) with nothing at all back from them, however they're still paying me, and I've had the yearly letter stating my entitlement, not sure if they've decided I don't need to be reassessed, or if I'm still waiting for an assessment?

    Hi @Androgen, this is very odd indeed! I'm not too sure what to suggest with this one. I hope the community has some answers :)

    @Androgen This may be down to backlogs as some parts of the country can still wait as long as nine months to be contacted.  If you are worried you can phone them and ask.

    Just seems weird that they'd suddenly have a backlog considering my housemate was up for assessment as well, our forms were sent a month apart, but her assessment was done and decisions made within 10 weeks, and I've yet to hear anything

    I also don't want to call them, as I'm in the support group, and don't want to make things difficult since I'm still getting the money, and I don't want to have to go to appeal if they decide to move me into the WRAG
