The simplest answer is for you to phone them or if you cannot, get someone to do it for you, you will need to be present when they make the call.

Phoning won't start a reassessment.

The advisor did provide info, however, stating that it had been 'Recommended' - she did say by whom but my friend cannot remember the professional title of the person - that the date of my next one would be 'Approximately' around the middle of December.
Am I to presume that the info given is correct?
I cannot understand why the advisor said that she'd never heard of 'Prognosis' in relation to my next assessment???

The prognosis is on the Assessment Report and is used to set the date on the ESA computer system.
If they have given you a date then I can see no reason to doubt it.
