It's that dreaded ESA issues again. I have been on ESA for a year and a half, but I have been requested to attend another assessment. Is this normal or not. Any advise would be gratefully received as I'm starting to worry.

Hi and welcome.Yes, it's perfectly normal to be re-assessed regularly and anytime from 3 months regardless of what group you're in.During the assessment you'll be asked questions about your conditions and how they affect your ability to do any type of work. Evidence should have been sent with the form when you returned it because they rarely contact anyone for this.Do be aware that you'll be watched from the minute you arrive to the minute you leave.About a week after the assessment you can ring DWP to request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report. Good luck.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Thank you for the details.
