If I remember correctly, the post mistakenly referenced one of the rules related to the transfer of IB/IS/SDA claimants to ESA.

Anyone receiving ESA should expect to be re-assessed, with the possibility of a medical, until the start receiving their State Pension, at which point ESA is no longer payable.

You can find out your Retirement age by using the following calculator

Who is not affected

This change will not affect you if:

you claim Employment and Support Allowance already
you are due to reach State Pension age before 6 April 2014

This talks about the process of transferring from IB to ESA, it does not refer to reassessments once awarded ESA.
