ESA Reassessment date

Some get an assessment within the given time scale and others well who knows when they will be re assessed.
Some are over 2 yrs from the re assessment date.

In a way this is grossly unfair for those that do get their re assessment within the time scale i.e ' you will be re assessed in 205 June', and a new ESA50 form drops on the mat in June.

I wish the DWP/Maximus or whoever would simply turn around and state all re assessments will have a 1 or 2 yr delay, thus being a bit fairer on one and all.

Its not fair that some can be left for a few yrs still obtaining ESA, who might well not be entitled to it, whereas others who get the dreaded form on the mat have to fight to still obtain ESA, who should be getting it without an aurgument/appeal etc.

So far it seems the problems are in certain areas, however that does not always follow.

It certainly annoys me that the DWP/Maximus etc can get away with their shoddiness, deliberate obtuseness along with pretty poor work ethics for as long as they do.

It is about time Disability groups or whoever bring this poignant point to the MP's and powers that be, to try and sort this infringment of disabily rights.

Hi PCM,

Unfair it may be !!

However, legally, there is no argument to be made !!

The recommended date for reassessment of any ESA Award, (The Prognosis) is just that, a recommendation.

The Prognosis does not form a legal part of the ESA Award.

In law, all and any ESA claimants can be reassessed any time after 3 months from the date of the award.

Hiya,

I know, and realise no leg to stand on, sorry re the pun to some.

It was a rant after reading so many in this situation of getting longer waits for a re assessment, whereas others get it straight away on their date.

I am the other member Bro 58 was talking about not having a reassessment date.
As of yet I have still not heard anything. My review date was October 2013.
All you can do is wait.

Hi rm,

There is really not much more to say than has already been said in this topic, and in many other similar topics on the same subject !!
