ESA was created by Susan Smith

Hi, I’m sorry if this question has already been asked previously.
I am currently receiving ESA in the support group,and have been for several years due to ongoing ill health but I was due to have a renewal in 2017 which was extended to May 2019, obviously with the situation with COVID I didn’t hear anything about renewal,
I was wondering if you know if there are any extensions to this at the moment that you know of, and when it is that I have to have a renewal would you think it will be a telephone consultation or a paper based one, if it’s the latter what does that entail please.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Susan

ESA is an indefinite award with scheduled reassessment based on the Prognosis Date completed by the assessor in their report, so your existing ESA award continues in payment until a new Decision is made.

The only way of finding out is to contact the DWP and ask.

Not aware of your condition or what supporting documents you sent in with your claim so we cannot say if you will have a paper review or a telephone assessment.

Our ESA/UC Claim guide has a section on the questions you are likely to be asked during the call.

If you have any further questions please come back to the forum.
