ESA Review was created by craig41
I am wondering if there is a delay in the DWP sending out the dreaded form for ESA reviews. My last award was until August last year and although I am still receiving my ESA payment I have heard nothing from them. Is anyone else on the same boat?

Hi craig41

The DWP have a backlog of cases, so it's not surprising that you have yet to receive a review form. Lots of members are reporting the same thing. Sorry we have no idea when you might receive one. You can ring and ask, but people who have are being told by the DWP that they have no idea when one might come through.

Hi craig41

ESA is an indefinite award with scheduled reassessment so there will be no end date or award length on the Decision Letter, if you have the assessment report then the "prognosis" is used to set the date, failing that contact the DWP office dealing with your claim, the reassessment date will be recorded on your computer record.

As BIS has stated there is a backlog of cases.
