ESA reassessment

Hi, I've been on incapacity benefit since 1999, and just had 2 years on ESA in support group. I've just sent back my re assessment form, to atos but I'm reading on here they're now gone from the system?
I have questions if anyone can answer?
Are atos gone?
What happens to my form, who decides what happens?
After being on ESA for so long, and nothing's changed,am I likely to be called for an assessment? I included an excellent letter from my consultant in the pack I sent back.

I can't sleep for worrying about this, and wondering where my forms gone and who will make the decision?!

    ATOS are not gone, however they are doing ignificantly fewer reassessments at the moment
    Maximus are taking over the contract reportedly
    The DWP can choose if they wish to award with no medical report from an assessment.
