IF you are definitely receiving ESA(IR) then you are entitled to free prescriptions, it will be one of the tick boxes on the back of the prescription form, you will need to provide proof of your award, your latest entitlement letter should be sufficient.
Your re-assessment date will be on the DWP computer, phone the DWP help line (number will be on your letters) and they can tell you what it is.

Sorry Gordon! It's contribution based ESA? Does this apply for free scripts?

No ESA(CB) does not entitle you to free prescriptions
Have a look at the following link which may offer an alternate way to qualify or at the least reduced charges.
