ESA is an indefinite award so it will not run out in April, you will continue to receive your current award until a new Decision on your claim is made.
There will be a re-assessment date on your claim and it is this that is usually used to trigger a re-assessment. The forms are usually sent out 4-6 weeks in advance of this date. Unless there are problems with the mail in your area, there is no need for you to chase the DWP.
