    Hi,I would say you are still on ESA. I"m in my second week tomorrow. Going by my last assessment two years ago under the new system, had a signing off letter pretty much two days later. Going back further about eight years ago under IB, had a signing off letter ( the next day ) So quick to sign you off but never been informed if you are safe. So think you are safe now.  take care.

      I have to disagree with you there, you should never assume that you are safe, especially with the current system. As for for Hicky, give the DWP a call. You should have received a decision by now, although it isn't uncommon to find people in similar situations.
