:woohoo:

Hi all and thank you.

on the SUBMIT A STORY section of B&W site, I think recent post could be regarding the GREEP PAPER I've been trying to locate..........................don't have time at present to fully read to 200+ downloadable pages at this moment in time, but will do soon.

Nice also to see it's dedicated to Loach for I DANIEL BLAKE," because we are all Daniel Blake's".

Will do some more digging, when I have more time, but the above seems to confirm that my train of thought originally, was probably correct.

Sincere Regards

P.

Hi all and bingo Bertie 1958, thank you so very much, that's the one I'm wanting to keep an eye on, to keep track of the "criteria", when they finally get there!

Heartfelt thanks to all.

I was last assessed and put in ESA support group in January 2013. I rang DWP twice last year for when due to be reassessed and on both occasions told January 2017. I rand again in January as concerned the forms may have got lost in the post. After going to check with a manager he advised me my next assessment is January 2019. Appears DWP may have already started not reassessing most serious cases as stated in the link you have provided. Would be interesting to know how many other B&W members this has happened to?

I wonder if this may happen to me. I was transferred from incapacity benefit into the SG on paper and then again on reassessment last Jan. The ESA85A commented on the severe and long history of MH illness. I guess I will find out in Aug, as the previous ESA85A said exactly the same as last, to reassess in 18 months. If they already have a date to reassess I wonder if that will still stand. However it seems they go by the severity at the point of starting ESA SG.
