in Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)
What is the current situation regarding ESA reviews?
Are they still suspended or have they started up again now?
I haven't been reviewed since around 2020, and I was told last year my award had been extended until 2025.
I know when they do start up again there'll be huge backlogs, so should I be expecting an ESA50 anytime soon?
Thanks.

    It sounds like you might be in the Support group as they've had a 3 year extension with their awards. There's some info explaining things here:https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/106559/uc-reviews-have-restarted/p1

    Yeah I was just wondering if there had been any further news about it if anyone knew anything. I'm worrying myself about it a lot.

    You can call and ask when your next reassessment date is due to be - I was worrying myself sick about it & called to ask the question and to my surprise was told it had been extended till 2025. . Whilst this is just a guide and they can really reassess you whenever they want. But theres just so much conflicting information online and it’s horrible I just had to call and ask the question before I drove myself mad with worry.
