esa re assessments

Yes, we have given up trying to guess the outcome of assessments for the reasons Benson states.

Hi Benson

Thank you for your words of comfort. Will let you know how I got on.

How many assessments have you had?

Hi Susy I had my first ESA F2F in June 2016 & I too was asked to wait while she phoned someone.. The outcome however was I was placed into the support group for 1 year... In Feb of this year I was sent a reassessment form which I filled in & sent back & now 32 weeks later I'm still waiting on word of whether I'm to go for another F2F or whether a paper based assessment will be done...I phoned the DWP but waited hours trying to get through so I phoned Maximus who said I would be contacted at a later date... All this uncertainty added more anxiety to my mental health problems.. There seems to be no rhyme or reason in the DWP's thinking at times... I know there's long delays in processing claims & as I live in Scotland it's probably going to get longer... Hopefully you'll get a good result from them & by this time next year I'll be retired so won't qualify for their benefit anyway .... Good luck

Hi John

Thank you for your reply.

Well I had a letter from dwp 9 days after my assessment to tell me I have been put in support group. I wasn't given a review date. I was sorry to read about your experience. The government haven't got a clue how it feels to be so ill and have all the anxiety etc waiting for them to make contact.

I am in two minds about what I shall do about my pip. At the minute I am getting the basic amount. If I ask for a reassessment will that mean another face to face examination? I can't go through that again.

I have another six years of this.
