Hi all,
Had been starting to "prepare" for my ESA review which I thought was Feb/Mar 22, however having contacted ESA today the person at ESA said my review is not now due until Mar 24. Quite surprised at my "stay of execution" but also somewhat pleased as I can continue to deal with my ongoing Mental Health issues without the added pressure of a review and the feeling of uncertainty.
Kindest Regards,
Rob.

Rob100,
Thank you for your input..I am glad for you that the review has been pushed back.
You probably should push to get confirmation in writing.
Good luck
Pete

Oh good! I’m due one soon I think. I was hoping long-term Support Group would all be pushed back.

I have also had my review pushed back to 2024, it was expected January this year.
Not even support group either.

Hi Gaddy
I would add a word of warning, we have had a number of forum members who received a pushback letter only to receive a review pack a few weeks later.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the warning, I know it was fairly common practice with PIP but I didn't realise it applied to ESA as well.
I was hoping they had such a backlog to deal with they were extending some ESA awards and I got lucky! I have not received a letter about this, I rang them as there is a massive post problem in my area and I was worried that I would not receive the form in time which was due this month.
That's when I was told my date for review was actually showing as January 2024.
You can't trust any information they give you I know!
