Has there been a recent change to cause this?
If not, the above is true in NI but not in the rest of the UK. I've gotten my ESA reports before the decision was made multiple times.

You can ask for a copy of the assessment report... for ESA you can only ask after the decision letter.

Hi Waylay
Unlike PIP you cannot request the assessment report (ESA85) until you have had your decision letter. When you receive your decision letter you just ring up and request a copy of the assessors report.
We have heard from many members on this forum that they have been refused a copy of their assessment report until a decision has been made.

Interesting... I got my ESA report long before the decision letter last time. 2018, I think?

Hi Waylay
Nothing would surprise me, but it is not the norm, you usually have to wait until a decision has been made, unlike PIP, where you can request a copy within 48 hrs of an assessment.
