If I have ESA and in the support group I do not have to be reassessed !
If I have PIP I do not have to be reassessed ! So why after all that do DWP want to reassess me for IIB. It was that injury that along with Cancer that ceased my employment any one know why it is different?

I'm afraid IIDB has it's own criteria and assessment are carried out by different people. Your existing claims are unlikely to be considered as part of the process.

I also have to tell you that both your ESA and PIP will be reassessed at some time in the future. Sorry!

The only time you are not re assessed for Ind Inj is when you are provided with a final life time award.
However that can be a good and a bad thing, because if you have a final lifetime award for Ind Inj it is almost impossible to have a re appraisal if things get worse, predominately if any form of arthritis or degenerative disease starts, than a re assessment of your Ind Inj can result and almost definitely will result in a down grade or even a removal of Ind Inj.
So having to have another Ind Inj assessment is a good thing, please remember to inform them how bad you really are and that it will get worse over time. This will help financially.

Re SG and PIP, you will be re assessed as mentioned.
Get your prognosis, which is really meaning your next assessment date and not whats wrong with you, from both the ESA people and the PIP people who assessed you, DWP etc, to discover what, how and when you will be coming up for your next re assessment s for both, which in turn will assist you on completing the next barrage of books to complete. Remember these are two different departments and even with Ind Inj, never the twain will meet as there is and never has or ever will be any 'joined up writing' between the depts unless it suits them.

Each assessment is an individual and never expect them to have any paper work on yourself, treat each an every assessment with whoever including paperwork as your first ever contact with them, thus providing the same and added paperwork to bulge out your case.
Keep ALL copies and meticulously file them ready for any time they will be needed or to be used to help your case.

Good luck
