In Support Group but still getting ESA50s

In May last year we won 2 Tribunals and I was placed in the Support Group.
I'm now in receipt of my Second ESA50 to complete since then!
They say they can send me these whenever they want as things might 'change'!?! Local CAB says they seem to do this to people with MS.
Has anyone else had this, I've searched the Forum & the MSSociety but can't find anyone else reporting it, let alone how to get them to leave me alone!
(I've already said on the Form that they might want to look up a definition of ''progressive ms''!)
Cheers!

Hi S,

As it appears that you are new to the forum, it may help if you read :

Welcome to Benefits and Work

You can access out FAQ’s in the yellow Spotlight Area, at the top above the forum, from here :

You can search the forums for previously posted topics from here :

As it appears that you now have to fill in another ESA50, you may wish to consider using the Pdf version, many members have, and have found it much easier.

You can download it from the link at the bottom of this page :

Use Of The Interactive PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire

You can start filling it in using our ESA Claims Guides, accessible from here :

ESA Guides

There is also further useful information on ESA in our FAQ's.

Please take note, that if your last ESA Assessment was before March 2011, that the ESA50, and the ESA Descriptors changed in March 2011, our guides are current and up to date.

I am afraid that all awards of ESA, whether The WRAG or The Support Group, are reassessed at regular intervals, that is the whole ethos of ESA.

There are no exemptions, or indefinate awards. These reassessments could go on until a claimant hits State Pension Age, as it is a "Working Age Benefit".

Claimants placed into the SG, do tend to gain longer awards though.

You may wish to read the following pages from our FAQ's :

Qualifying for the WRAG

Qualifying for the Support Group

How often will I be reviewed

How long do I have to complete the ESA50?

Plus, there is much more useful information in our FAQ's.

If after reading you have any further queries, please com back to the forum.

Thanks bro58, I had searched the FAQs but the one I'd missed was 'How often will I be reviewed' so Thanks for that.
I've always used your guides as they are brilliant!
I think I was looking to see if it was people with MS in particular who are targeted for greater frequency reviews, as my CAB WRO had said they seem to leave alone some conditions but hassle people with ms.
Thanks again for your help tho.
