    There's no timescales for decisions.
  • There are hundreds of thousands of people making claims. You really can't expect to be a priority

    I wasn't expecting to be made a priority although this has been in process since 1st November last year which I find is a bit too long for a reassessment.

    No, it's not because there's no timescales. It depends on the backlog in your area.
  • I don't live in a big city with a crowded population, I'm in north of scotland. Still no excuse to wait from when they received documents 1st November 2017 to now.

    There's many reasons an ESA review can take time, backlogs being just one of them. Not sure what anyone here can do about any of that. You aren't the first person to experience a long wait and certainly won't be the last.
