First a request, please try not post in capitals it causes problems for members who use screen readers :)

I think you might want to check the dates on your letter, as I would expect them to have said 2011, and not 2012!


I am afraid that a 3 month re-assessment period is not unusual for members of the WRAG, there is nothing you can do about this other than to fully participate in the process.

Be aware you should treat this as a completely new assessment, you cannot rely on any of the information information in your previous form being looked at.

Hi bigbird,

Unlike DLA, ESA is an indefinite benefit that can be reasessed at any stage. As Gordon said, it is not uncommon to hear of a 3 month reassessment, this is the soonest they can do. Anything the claimant might be told regarding the length of the award or when they will be reassessed is purely advisory.

The November date on your award letter causes a lot of confusion - this is purely there for DWP system (possibly related to the Christmas bonus) and has no relation to when your benefit will end or you will be reassessed.

Gordon - am I missing something, it is 2012 now and bigbird has recently recieved that letter??
