What would they be living on meanwhile? As I understand it, the intention is to not pay even assessment rate ESA until the recon has been done and the claim passed to the Tribunal Service.

All depends if there has been a deterioration in health or that a new illness had arisen. If so, a new ESA (IR) claim could be lodged.

If not then JSA for a couple of months.
