Renewal ESA Forms

I hope someone can help me with this.. I have checked on the B&W site as well as on here but I'm not sure if I've been looking for the right thing and some of it is very confusing to me.

My re-assessment is due about 24th Aprill of this year, I was placed in the Support Group last year. When should I have recieved a new ESA form to fill in to return back? I haven't heard anything from them yet and with the reassessments on hold for a possible 2 years, is it possible that I am not likely to receive a form within the next 6 months?

I know I will get told to ring up to find out but I hate talking to strangers on the phone and only get paranoid that it will trigger a form release if it is on hold.

I do hope I have made sense...sorry it's a bit garbled..

    Assessments will not take place until a replacement for ATOS is in place - from what I have heard this could be very soon. Has there been no improvement in your condition?

    None at all, if anything it has got worse.
