There is no indefinite award for the ESA Support group. It's 3 years max (some say 2 years) before reassessment.
But there's nothing stopping them from reassessing you at anytime. Though with the changes now I don't think that's going to happen any time soon.

Re: The state benefits system mega-thread. Many merged.
At the end of my last assessment the doctor said further assessments weren't necessary don't know if that's because my illness is proven beyond any doubt and is progressive but certainly sounded indefinite to me. I just hope that a new company will mean a new system either way Dilli hope it is as easy as this can be for you .

Did you request an ESA85a letter?
Anyone can stay in the support group indefinitely as long as nothing changes and you fill in the ESA50 forms every 1-3 years. Not having a face to face assessment doesn't mean any more or less than having one.
The fact you included the all the evidence, letters etc they needed was the reason you didn't have one (same as myself), people fill out the forms stating whatever but fail to include any proof so they are the ones that will be assessed.

Clearly not. But with a membership of over 88,000 you would expect a fair few to be.

Re: The state benefits system mega-thread. Many merged.
Call me a cynic but i can't see them replacing ATOS with another company until after the general election next year. Then once that's over if they are still in power a new company will be instated with the same nonsense going on.
