You are correct, 3 years is the max before being reassessed, though 2 seems to be the norm. It's well know that if you're in the WRAG group income based then 6 monthly assessment is very common.

I've spent a bit of time trying to find some evidence of payments being stopped whilst in the support group for those that are due to be assessed and I still can't find anything. (Not saying it doesn't happen, just no info is available).
