Is there anything I can do to forestall another stressful ESA review in a year's time?

In April 2019 my ESA was reviewed, following a WCA I was awarded a further three years until April 2022. 

I was not aware at the time that I could have challenged the length of the award by requesting a mandatory reconsideration (MR), I find the ESA reviews and the WCA and the hassle of completing the form most stressful and unnecessary in my case, the prognosis of my condition is getting worse and I have recently been diagnosed with severe coronary heart disease.

I have been on IB/ESA for over 15 years.

Is there anything I can do to forestall another stressful ESA review in a year's time?

    Hello @spb1612 and apologies that you didn't initially get a response to this post.

    Unfortunately, ESA is not my specialist area however I'll speak to a member of staff more about your query and get back to you with a reply asap.
