Hello,
I won my appeal on 29/07/2013 and was placed in the support group.
The decision notice says that I should not be reassessed for 2 years.
Can anyone please tell me if there is a backlog for this?
Many thanks
Gary

Hi gzm,

If you have an ESA award from 29/07/13 with a 2 year prognosis, normally you would have received a fresh ESA50 around June 2015.

There are still backlogs with ESA reassessments, and we are still hearing from members who have had their reassessment deferred to a later date.

The only way to find out is to ring ESA :

THE ESA PHONE NUMBER DWP : 0345 608 8545 Press Option 3 for ESA. (Open 8AM-6PM. Mon-Fri.)

See : This Topic and : This more recent topic.

Many thanks, phoned and was informed 07/07/2017 so a 2 year delay

I understood that the "2-year prognosis" ESA award would have started at the date of the incorrect original Decision, not at the more recent date of the Tribunal's replacement Decision? In which case, the wait for re-assessment is quite a bit longer than it first appears.
