There's a large backlog at the moment and many people who were due to be reassessed in 2014 have yet to be reassessed. It depends on where you live in the country as to how bad the backlog is but many people who were due to be reassessed in early 2014 (not 2015) are now just having their face to face assessments.

You will continue to be placed in the Support Group and paid ESA until your reassessment takes place. It's not the case that once June arrives and your reassessment date is reached that your ESA will stop.
