ESA automatic renewal. was created by Judy
I don't understand why my ESA just automatically renews? I had one assessment years ago but since then I just get letters saying they're going to continue paying me the same amount. The last time it was cut was when I had to take DWP to tribunal For my PIP. The ESA people cut my ESA payments then, and,when I won tribunal I had to go through an ESA assessment to get my money back up.
This year I am waiting for my PIP renewal decision and have just got a letter from ESA saying my money is staying the same. Just wondering why they've done that, could they know before me about my PIP decision. They quickly cut my money when my PIP was cut and I hadn't told them.

Hi Judy
You've asked a question which is impossible to answer with any certainty. Who understands the interworking of the DWP?
If your ESA is automatically renewing, they've obviously done a paper-based review and not asked for any further information - because they already accept your medical condition has not changed and they have no need to do a face to face assessment.
I don't know whether you received the assessment report for your original claim, but some say on them that the claimant should not be reassessed. This is rare but it does happen. Whether this applies to you - I can't tell you, but if you really want the answer to your question - you will have to contact them and ask.

The DWP are a law unto themselves…. If you are still getting SDP it is probably because your PIP is still ‘live’ despite it being reviewed atm.
Conversely I was put into the Support Group ten years ago without them seeing me, but have had ten years of drama with DLA & PIP….
Don’t worry about it!!
