ESA50 Re-Assessment was created by Pumpk1n
Hi everyone,
I have received another ESA50 after being in Support Group for a few years (also receive Higher PIP). I just wondered, as my condition is genetic and only progresses, can I just put 'no change' then just add in info where things have got worse, or do I have to answer each question in full again, like it's my first time. I can't seem to find an answer for this on searching.
With many thanks for your help.

I'm afraid not, every ESA reassessment is treated as a new claim with no reference to any previous award, you also need to be aware that there have been changes to the DWP guidance in the last year that might affect your claim.
