    If you phone up there will be a review date on your records.
    They usually, but not always stick to that date to re-assess. And that is in normal times. 
    Ok thanks I’ll call up ASAP in the morning this week sometime

    Do be aware that you may have difficulty getting through due to obvious circumstances.

    Ok yes I understand. I’m happy to be on hold for a while . Usual assessments are in the summer for me hence my anxiety after not receiving anything yet 
    I’m sure they can reassure me they either have or haven’t sent anything to me yet

    They will not have sent anything to you yet because as previously advised all is currently suspended.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    They will announce it. PLease just try to relax for now, i know that's very difficult but worrying about something beyond your control will only make you worse.

    Mine is due October and I've had forms two months ahead before so would be around August. 
    Now I've no idea whether my date will be changed or I'll go into a large pile. 
    It is hard not to worry.

    They are talking about the assessments, for those that received the form before the suspension was put into place.  As has been previously advised a few times, reviews are suspended so you won't receive any forms, which means you won't have a review at the moment.
