Hi quick update MP contacted Assessment Centre who said there is a back log and could not say when I would get an appointment. I have called the Assessment information number and DWP who say they do not know when I will get appointment they are driving me mad, any suggestions?

If this is a new claim for ESA and you are receiving Contribution Based ESA then you can ask the DWP (possibly via your MP), to prioritise your claim for assessment so that you not effected by your payments stopping in May due to the time limiting of ESA(CB).

If it is a reassessment or you are not affected by the time limit, then I'm afraid there is little you can so but wait.
