esa support group

Hi
I was put in to support group middle of last year and asked the question how long does my assessment is for I was told there is no specific time limit and you could be asked to repeat the form filling after 12 months is this correct

Hi maurice,

Unlike DLA, ESA is actually an indefinite award that can be reassessed at any time after 3 months has passed since the decision was made. The maximum length is 2 years in WRAg and 3 years in the Support Group. In practice a 'prognosis' is usually entered on the claimant's file and this is the length of the award, reassessment forms being sent out several months in advance.

If you wish you can phone DWP and ask for the prognosis, or write and request the paperwork associated with your claim.
