ESA query??

Hi, Im currently on income based ESA, wrag group & have been since March 2012, at the medical I was deemed unfit for at least 2 yrs. Does anyone know why I received an ESA50 several days ago?? Do I have to reapply, will I need another Atos medical?? Im now starting to panic!!! Any info greatly appreciated.
