Unsure of next WCA date was created by Dole

I was placed in SG in Nov 2013 and was told via CAB I had 2 yr grace. I have rung DWP and they say 3yr (2016) BUT THEY WONT SEND ME A LETTER TO COFIRM
THIS! (the person said "3yr is very unusual"
I am now panicking i might miss my nxt ESA50/WCA if it really is this year
How do I get DWP to officially confirm the likely time?

ESA is an indefinite award with frequent re-assessment, as such the re-assessment date is not part of the award and you will not receive a letter stating when you will be re-assessed.

Three years is not an unusual period between assessments for a member of the Support Group.

If you are still concerned about when you will be next assessed then you can try ring the ESA Helpline again, but I suspect you won't get a better answer than you already have.

Hi E,

As Gordon states, I doubt that you will get anything "written in stone" (or on paper

) regarding your next reassessment date.

See : This Topic and the links to the other topics therein.
