On a good note, my daughter was kept in the ESA Support Group after reassessment recently. And her twin brother was moved from WRAG to Support also. And both award letters had a line at the end "We won't ask for you to go for another assessment unless there is a change in your health condition".

But then a letter "inviting" our daughter to claim PIP arrived.
These are the words of just a few people regarding PIP and it sadly does not make for good reading.
