I am 65 in July 2019 - I have been in receipt of esa support for 5 years, I was reassesed in 2018 and continued and will be re assesed again in 2020 - I have been in receipt of PIP for 6 years and I am due a reassement in 2020 - I was paper assessed in 2018 and was informed I was getting the correct amount (high rate mobility and standard rate care) and was told I would be contacted nearer my 2020 renew date for reassesment. They are so far behind with assessments that I fear they may well stop my pip before they have a chance to reassess. Does anyone have any experience of these reassessments?

Hopefully some of our members will be able to share their experiences, @sue17.
You may be interested in this past community discussion on reassessments. It's important to remember that it was only one person's experiences, however there's some good input from benefits advisors on that thread too. Please do keep us updated!
