Hi synapse321
ESA claims have been severely affected by COVID restrictions and a lot of people who were expecting forms have not received them in a timely fashion. I can't say when they are sending them out, but I would start contacting them when you have six months to go or you can contact them now and ask.

Just to clarify, ESA is an indefinite award with scheduled reassessment, your current award will remain in payment until a new Decision is made.
The sole exception to this is the 365 day limit for the payment of ESA(CB) for claimants not in the Support Group.
So, unless you are anxious about a reassessment, perhaps you are concerned about the form going missing, then you do not need to contact the DWP about a reassessment, they will contact you when they are ready.
Contacting the DWP will not initiate a reassessment and they may be able to tell you when you might expect a new form, many members find that the date has already been deferred by several years.

Thanks for the replies.
Do I contact DWP directly or Capita (or whatever they are called)?
I did speak to DWP but the woman was vague about when they will send out the forms.
