That aside is there any common sense used ? never having been bothered by DWP the only time they gave me a time scale it was 5 years which seemed right
The frequency of re-assessments vary widely. When considering whether to reassess someone, a decision maker is expected to take into account what the Atos HCP said at the last assessment. Some people are assessed as frequently as every three months.

Based on comments from Members, I would say that 12 months seems to be the upper limit for the time between assessments, with the vast majority being in the 6-8 months timeframe, although as Survivor posted there are some who seem to recieve a new ESA50 as soon as a Decision has been made on the last assessment.

Based on Members comments, winning a Tribunal seems to make it more likely that you will have a re-assessment in the short termSo the person having won at tribunal is not used as a reason ?
