ESA Support Group - Reassessment?

I've been in the Support Group for ESA for a few years (I can't remember when it was first granted). I have secondary progressive MS, amongst other issues.
This morning I received a Capability for Work questionnaire.
The illness isn't going to get better and it isn't going to go away.
I migrated from DLA (lifetime award) to PIP (reassess in ten years time) successfully last year.
Didn't I read that people with progressive, worsening conditions weren't going be be reassessed any more?
Can't believe I've got this stress all over again, and so soon after the PIP business!
I could cry... I thought I was okay for a while at least. Can they take anything away from me at this stage?

With a condition such as progressive MS it is probable, but not definite, that a decision will be made purely on the basis of the information already held, in association with the ESA50 you have been sent. I know it's a long form, but complete it and return a.s.a.p. along with any supporting evidence.0

I think it is coming in from April 2018
it might be April 2017, but I think it is April 2018.
It is not gauranteed to give you life-time ESA, it is a decision to be made probably at your next WCA after it has been introduced. i.e. your next WCA after April 2018.0
