ESA

I completed and returned my ESA50 in March (moving from SDA) stating that a home assessment would be necessary, however I recently received a letter asking me to attend an assessment centre. My husband called and stated that we needed a home visit and we were advised to ask my GP to send a fax with covering details, which the GP duly did. My husband called the assessment centre today to confirm receipt of the fax. He was advised that they have received it and it had been passed to their doctor .....(this is where my husband got a bit confused as he's not too good on the phone.) The lady said something like 'Our doctor has got all the information he needs and has returned the claim to the DWP, so your wife doesn't need to attend the assessment' Does anyone know exactly what this might mean ? We were just told to wait to hear from DWP.
Thanks in advance.

Hi & thanks Gordon. I'm having trouble finding my way round this site and have not been able to change my name on here ... I've tried following the links but can't find how to do it.

Hi again . Thanks for your previous comments and help with my (on line name) ..
Ok, I've received 2 letters today.
(1) A healthcare professional has reviewed the further medical evidence received and in respect of this has now decided that it is no longer necessary that you undergo an assessment at this time. Any current appointments have therefore been cancelled.Your file has been returned to DWP.
(2) We recently asked you to attend an assessment at ~~~~~~~~~~ This was in relation to your benefit claim. We no longer need you to come for this assessment. Please do not come to this assessment centre as this appointment has been cancelled.

I can only assume this is good news ?

I still don't know what this means, if anyone can help please ?
I'm also sure that I saw somewhere, DWP can still demand an assessment even if the assessment centre has sent it back to them stating I don't need one ?
