Hi mm,
Anyone that had already been re-referred to ATOS for reassessment before the 22nd January 2014 when the deferrals began would be reassessed.
It seems from comments in your previous posts, i.e. "last esa50 I filled in was in January 2014" that you were already in the reassessment process before that time.
It is likely that your ESA50 has been sitting in a pile awaiting action since then.
So to be clear, any claimant's that had already been re-referred to ATOS prior to 22/01/14 can expect to be reassessed, despite the deferrals after that date.
