confused ESA re assesment ATOS was created by newbie27
HI
i have been in the support group for two years now and my re assessment in now due? but I've not heard anything??
is this because ATOS no longer operates? so what happens now
will i get the dreaded envelope??

Most re-assessments for ESA have been temporarily suspended so it is not surprising that you have not received a new ESA50, however, it is worth giving ATOS a call just to confirm that one has not been issued and lost in the post.
Contact ATOS
Phone: 0800 2888 777 or 0113 230 9175

hi gordon
i may have slightly confused things
dated my 2012
the esa85a letter says..
i advise the clients meets support group as they have server functional disability
PROGNOSIS
i advise that a return to work is unlikely for at least 2 years....
it goes n to say..that the client is unlikely to return to work in the longer term
there says nothing about re assessment only above. so do i just leave and ignore? as if i call them and email them it may trigger something for them to do a re assessment ??

Calling to enquire as to when you are due for reassessment should not trigger a reassessment
However not returning a form that might have got lost in the post may well result in your benfits being stopped.

ESA is an indefinite award with regular re-assessment, your current award will continue until a new Decision changes it, so not being re-assessed will not make a difference, however, it is still worth checking that a new ESA50 has not been sent, as a failure to return it can lead to your claim being closed.
