Are people claiming ESA that includes "severely disabled" payment, plus "disability income guarantee" exempt from being required to do the ESA work capability assessment for their annual ESA renewal?

Hi,No, i'm afraid they are not exempt, you can be re-assessed anytime from 3 months.The only ones that are exempt are those that have been placed into the severe conditions group.

What are the conditions that put you in the severe conditions group ??
