Mine is due in September 2022 so I am expecting the ESA50 in July. However I was due to be reassessed in September 2020 and that was extended for 2 years. It will be interesting to see if I do get an ESA50 this year orwhether it will once again be extended. My understanding is that there is a massive backlog and at the moment the DWP are concentrating on new claims and people whose condition has worsened where they are looking to be put in the support group.
If anyone is wanting to find out when their WCA date is but doesn't want to phone up, you can do a Subject Access Request. Your next WCA date will be included in what is sent out. The only problem there is it is only listed on one sheet of paper (headed Work Capability Assessment Details) and you need to know where to look to find it as you'll likely receive hundreds of pages of print outs. The last SAR I did, this WCA date was on sheet number 235 of almost 500 pages! The one before that it was on sheet number 160 of 350 pages. I knew where to look, which helped but most people probably wouldn't know where to look and would have to go through everything one page at a time (though if you go to roughly the middle of what is sent you should find it within 20 pages or so).
